Celebrate 18! is an annual statewide birthday celebration each July honoring young women impacted by foster care or family instability. More than an event, it’s a powerful reminder that stepping into adulthood should be met with community, opportunity, and hope — not uncertainty. ? The evening culminates in a beautiful benefit dinner where guests gather to hear inspiring stories from foster care alumni, experience moving performances, and take part in a heartfelt birthday celebration that reflects the resilience and potential of every young woman we serve.
