ChildNet’s 10th Annual “Care for Kids” Luncheon, presented by debt.com, will be held on March 7 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Boca West Country Club. This year’s “touchdown”-themed luncheon promises to be an inspiring and impactful event, bringing together community leaders and advocates in support of Palm Beach County’s Community-Based Care (CBC) lead agency.
At the heart of the luncheon will be the recognition of this year’s honorees, former NFL player Don Silvestri and his wife, Alissa Marks-Silvestri. The Silvestris will share their extraordinary journey with foster care and adoption. Together, they have fostered 14 children and adopted four, exemplifying the transformative power of love. As part of the Boca Raton community and with a background in marketing, Alissa brings a unique perspective to their advocacy efforts. Their story is a testament to the joy and fulfillment of changing a child’s life forever.
The funds raised from the “Care for Kids” event will provide ChildNet with the flexibility to prioritize the needs of its children, youth and caregivers and take advantage of opportunities that arise and react to unforeseen challenges. By joining the stakeholders at this year’s event, attendees will have a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact. Together, the community can help ensure that every child has the chance to thrive in a safe and loving environment.
ChildNet was selected by the Florida Department of Children & Families to serve as the CBC lead agency in Palm Beach and Broward counties. As such, it is the single private nonprofit entity responsible for administering the local child welfare system in each county. The agency’s mission is to protect abused, abandoned and neglected children across the communities it supports.
The Boca Raton Observer is the event’s exclusive media sponsor.
