A Village Around Adoption Gala

Join us for an unforgettable evening of celebration, community, and impact at the “A Village Around Adoption Gala”, a special event supporting CCS and the families we work alongside every day.
This unique gala will bring together supporters, professionals, adopters, corporate partners and friends of CCS for an evening dedicated to raising awareness of adoption and the power of “A Village Around Adoption”. The theme reflects our belief that every child, family and adopter benefits from a network of support. Together, we’ll celebrate those connections while raising vital funds to help CCS continue providing essential adoption support services.
Whether you are a long-time supporter, an adopter, an adoptee, a professional working in the sector, or someone passionate about making a difference, we would love you to join us for this memorable evening. Come together with us to celebrate the power of community and help build A Village Around Adoption.
