Event Success and a Challenge

We are thrilled to announce that this year’s Celebrate the Children (CTC) & Sponsor a Kid Gala raised over $380,000! This year, we celebrated the children's academic success by featuring our honor roll kids, who showcased their talents through dancing and singing. We also honored ten graduating seniors, six of whom graduated with honors, one earning a student pilot's license, and five moving on to pursue college degrees. Our kids collectively earned nearly $100,000 in scholarships to obtain bachelor’s degrees in their respective fields. Additionally, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office contributed $25,000 to our Sponsor a Kid campaign.
