2026 Blue Ribbon Bash Sponsors
The Tim and Carolyn Charitable Trust

Picture Day is sponsored by our Foster Friends Program. The Foster Friends Program is all about fun, friendship, and making memories! We host parties, special celebrations, and exciting activities for kids in care. It's a chance to laugh, play, and feel like a part of a big circle of friends who truly care.
This event is for youth in care to get professional pictures, either by themselves or with their special people.
Stay tuned for dates and registration information from DSS and CASA on how to sign up for our Blue Ribbon Project Picture Day event.

If you are concerned that a child may be experiencing abuse or neglect, please do not wait. You do not need proof - you only need reasonable concern. Reports made in good faith are protected by law.
AI chatbots are not a substitute for trained crisis professionals. If you or someone you know is in crisis, please use the resources above. Reporting abuse can protect a child. Remember, you do not need to be certain that abuse is occurring - if you have concerns, reach out. Trained professionals will assess the situation and take appropriate steps. If you are a survivor of childhood abuse and are struggling with its effects, support is available. Healing is possible, and you deserve to access it.
