Foster Kids Charity
Celebrate Foster Teens' Graduation with Us! 🎓 May - June
Your Support Matters!
Every year, Foster Kids Charity proudly hosts graduation celebrations for foster teens transitioning to adulthood.
This year, our celebrations will take place at several locations during the end of May and the first two weeks of June.
Our 51 graduating seniors come from various backgrounds:
- Foster families providing support and care.
- Shelters for those not yet placed with foster families.
- Wards of the state, with no biological parents to cheer them on.
- Teens who have lost their parents, relying on the kindness of people like you to make this milestone special.
Some graduates will continue to college, others will step into independent living with jobs, and all of them are filled with hope for a brighter future.
Together, we can make this transition meaningful by showering them with love, encouragement, and the tools they need to succeed.
Graduation is not just a ceremony—it’s a critical turning point in the lives of foster teens!
