How Heartstrings Changes Lives
Heartstrings is the primary fundraising event for the Heart Gallery program which, in turn, fuels the needed marketing and educational outreach to support children being matched with their forever families.
It’s one evening of fun, inspiration, and generosity translating into year-round tireless devotion to finding adoptive families for some of the hardest to place children in foster care. Through your support, we’ll:
- Expand visibility and awareness of local children awaiting adoption
- Educate those interested in learning more about adoption
- Guide prospective adoptive parents through the adoption process
- Help to successfully match children with adoptive families
- Provide foster children the opportunity to celebrate birthdays, holidays, and other life milestones.
Pandemic conditions will be closely monitored. If needed for the utmost safety of our guests, a Covid “rain date” will be identified in early 2022.
Gulf Coast JFCS is committed to ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of its employees, volunteers, and clients which include members of vulnerable communities. As part of this commitment, COVID-19 vaccines are required for current and newly-hired employees, unless an employee is entitled to a reasonable accommodation or exemption as permitted pursuant to Gulf Coast JFCS’s COVID-19 Vaccination Policy.
Sponsoring the Event
Generous philanthropic support allows Heart Gallery of Pinellas and Pasco to find adoptive families for the hardest to place children in foster care – teenagers, siblings, and children with special medical or emotional needs.
Our goal is to find a forever family for every child before they age out of foster care.
