Hosted by Legacy Adoption Services and River’s Edge Brewing Company, this lively event is scheduled from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., bringing the community together for a truly great cause.
Why Legacy Day Matters
So, what’s all the buzz about? Legacy Day is not just a fun night out; it shines a spotlight on the vital topic of adoption through foster care and emphasizes the great services offered by Legacy Adoption Services. Leaning on its impressive history since 1977, this organization is one of Michigan’s largest private adoption agencies, with over 10,000 children placed in nurturing homes. That staggering number reflects the outstanding work done to support children who truly need it.
Did you know that Michigan currently has around 10,000 children in foster care? Approximately 2,000 of these kiddos are eagerly waiting for that special, permanent adoptive family. This clear need for community involvement cannot be overstated! Legacy Day highlights how important foster parents are and shares the heartwarming stories that come from families who welcome these resilient children into their lives.
A Fun-Filled Evening Awaits
Now, let’s not forget about the fun! Attendees can expect an action-packed evening, thanks to River’s Edge Brewing Company, which will graciously provide grilled hot dogs and chips—and yes, we all love free food! But don’t worry if you’re in the mood for something else; craft beer and other tasty food items will also be available for purchase. It doesn’t get much better than that!
If you’re bringing the youngsters, we have great news! The little ones will be in for a true treat with tons of exciting activities lined up—including balloon artistry by the Fabulous Fred and delightful face painting by Cherri-Paints. Games and crafts will keep those little hands busy, ensuring that every child has a blast all evening long.
Inspiration and Support
Throughout this engaging night, there will be opportunities to engage in meaningful chats surrounding foster care and the journeys of adoption. Additionally, don’t miss out on the silent auction! You can bid on a variety of items while supporting this incredible cause. It’s a chance not only to snag something special but also to contribute to a brighter future for a child in need.
Community Support Makes a Difference
The success of Legacy Day is bolstered by generous sponsors like local businesses that help fund essential services such as adoptive parent group sessions, trauma training for parents, and support geared toward children with special needs. One of the standout aspects of their support is the fantastic financial assistance offered for minor home repairs that help adoptive parents meet licensing regulations. Community involvement matters, and it shows how combined efforts can make real changes in lives.
Why You Should Get Involved
As we gear up for Legacy Day, we invite everyone to come join the festivities, show your support, and learn more about how you can be a part of this transformative journey. Together, we can ensure that every child has the chance to feel like a “normal kid” with access to the loving home they deserve.
So, gather your family and friends, mark that calendar for May 10, and let’s come together to create a positive impact within our community—one heart at a time!
