Community Comes Together for Legacy Day: A Heartwarming Event Supporting Foster Care
Mark your calendars, folks! On May 10, 2025, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., residents of Milford are in for a treat as Legacy Adoption Services and River’s Edge Brewing Company join hands to host the much-anticipated third annual Legacy Day. This vibrant community event is all about raising awareness about adoption through foster care and showing support for the fantastic services offered by Legacy Adoption Services – one of Michigan’s largest private adoption providers.
Celebrating Love and Family
Legacy Day isn’t just about good food and live music; it’s a heartfelt celebration of *foster parents* and the adoption journey of children who have faced challenging circumstances. The event focuses on bringing the community together to help children find permanent, loving homes. It’s a day marked by excitement, compassion, and a commitment to being a part of something bigger than ourselves.
A Taste of Community: Food and Fun!
What’s a celebration without some tasty grub? Attendees can enjoy free grilled hot dogs and chips courtesy of River’s Edge Brewing Company. For those with a palate for more craft food and beverages, rest assured, there will be a selection available for purchase. Can anyone say *yum*?
And let’s not forget the entertainment! Live musical performances will light up the night featuring local bands from Michigan Rock School, including Gravity Six, Spanish or Vanish, and 828 Collective. It promises to be an unforgettable night filled with vibrant music that will get everyone moving.
Family-Friendly Activities Galore!
Families with kiddos can take advantage of various fun-filled activities during the event. Children will surely be delighted by balloon artistry from the Fabulous Fred and exceptional face painting by Cherri-Paints. On top of that, there will be games and crafts to keep little hands busy. This is a perfect opportunity for parents to relax, mingle, and maybe even talk about their own adoption experiences.
Funding for Families in Need
One of the primary goals of Legacy Day is to ensure that every child in foster care has the essential support and opportunities to feel like a “normal kid.” With approximately 10,000 children in foster care in Michigan alone and around 2,000 waiting for adoption, the need for awareness and funding is critical. Sponsors like AKD Authentic Kitchen & Design and M.J. Whelan Construction have stepped up, supporting various vital services such as:
- Adoptive parent group sessions.
- Trauma training for parents.
- Support for children with special needs.
- Financial assistance for minor home repair projects to meet licensing regulations for adoptive parents.
Inspiring Conversations and Opportunities
Throughout the evening, attendees can engage in enlightening conversations about the foster care system and share personal adoption journeys. There will even be a silent auction, giving everyone a chance to contribute while snagging some great items.
Join the Movement!
Jennifer Stevens, an enthusiastic advocate for fostering and adopting children, stresses how important it is to provide a loving and stable environment for children who have faced trauma. Legacy Day serves as a rallying point for anyone considering the beautiful path of becoming a foster or adoptive parent—regardless of financial or household situations. The door is wide open for anyone willing to open their hearts and homes.
So, whether you’re a longtime supporter of foster care or just curious about how you can make a difference, come out to Legacy Day. Enjoy some food, feel the rhythm of the music, and experience the warmth of community spirit. Together, we can help make a lasting impact on the lives of children in need!
