2024 Annual Celebration

Please join us Sunday, April 28th, 1-3PM at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden for our annual fundraising event.

Purchase tickets by April 18th, HERE.

Experience the beauty of Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden at the peak of the spring season! Take a leisurely stroll through the vibrant gardens, savor delightful munchies and mimosas, and cherish moments with both familiar and new friends. We will gather at Bloemendaal house for a brief program, offering opportunities to hear from several families whose lives have been positively impacted by CHSVA. We deeply value the adoption stories shared by many, creating lifelong connections that bind us together as the CHSVA family. We will also have a silent auction and raffle featuring some exceptional experiences and fine spirits.

Your support allows us to nurture strong families across generations. Together, we can empower at-risk children in Virginia to thrive and flourish into exceptional individuals. Sponsorship opportunities are available that offer various ways to showcase your business.

My Path Forward

What Is Family?

Children in foster care are removed from unsafe families. Then they have no family. Their future is unknown. They may not even be adopted. What happens when teens aren’t adopted?
