Creating Brighter Futures

Join us for an evening filled with inspiration, entertainment, and the joy of contributing to a brighter future for Chatham County’s youth in foster care. Enjoy an open bar, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and the opportunity to honor extraordinary people making a difference in the lives of children in foster care.

Young adults exiting foster care in Chatham County face immense obstacles on their journey to adulthood. They have experienced instability and trauma during their time in foster care, and as they reach adulthood, they are thrust into independence without the support system they desperately need. The consequences of this lack of support are profound and alarming:

• Approximately 3% will earn a college degree and are less likely to graduate high school than their peers.
• A staggering 40% of youth exiting foster care will experience homelessness by age 19, putting them at risk of a cycle of instability.
• Significantly higher rate of mental illnesses and drug abuse than the general population, further exacerbating their struggles.

But It doesn’t have to be this way. With your help, we can create brighter futures for every Chatham County youth in foster care.

Join us at our Creating Brighter Futures Award Ceremony & Cocktail Celebration, an extraordinary event dedicated to making a significant impact on the lives of youth in foster care. We will come together to raise funds, honor outstanding individuals and organizations, and create lasting change in our community. With your support, we will provide youth in foster care with the support and resources they need to flourish, unlocking their potential and guiding them toward brighter futures. Together, let’s make this night a memorable celebration of hope, transformation, and the power of giving.
