Children’s Home Network’s Kinship Program Celebrates Grandparents in Tampa Bay as Mayor Bob Buckhorn Proclaims September 14th as Grandparents Day Celebration 2018
Tampa, FL, August 18, 2018 --(PR.com)-- The Kinship program of the Children’s Home Network will celebrate all grandparents, and relative caregivers raising children in Tampa Bay on September 13th and 14th in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties.
Sadly, there are many children ages 0-18 in Tampa Bay who are removed from their parents care, due to abuse, neglect and abandonment. Many times, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins will step in to provide a loving home environment, yet struggle to find adequate resources to meet their needs. Many of them turn to the Children’s Home Network’s Kinship program for connections to resources, support and guidance.
Although September 9th is National Grandparents Day, Mayor Bob Buckhorn of Tampa has officially proclaimed Friday, September 14, 2018 as “Grandparents Day Celebration 2018.” The Children’s Home Network’s Kinship program and community partners will host a series of celebrations to say thank you to these caregivers who are raising family member's children. Hillsborough county events include breakfast, the opportunity to socialize, and award presentations. Pinellas county events include dinner, door prizes, and feature guest speaker, Dr. Willie J. Kimmons of Save Children Save Schools.
The Kinship program serves Hillsborough, Osceola, Orange, Pasco, Pinellas and Seminole Counties. The Children’s Home Network Kinship program Grandparents Day Celebration in Hillsborough is funded by the Children’s Board of Hillsborough County. The Pinellas event is funded by Juvenile Welfare Board. For more information on the event in Hillsborough County, contact Christina Ward at (813) 901-3441 or cward@childrenshomenetwork.org.
