They wait for your help

The Children’s Guardian Fund provides funding to meet emergency needs and enable normalcy and enrichment in the lives of children in foster and state care in Florida’s 12th Judicial Circuit. We also promote public awareness and community support for the children’s needs. And finally, believing that every child removed from their home needs a voice, we provide limited funding to support the recruitment, training and retention of Guardian ad Litem Program volunteers.

The Challenge

To meet the needs of children who have been removed from abusive or neglectful families and placed in the state’s care.

What We Do

Provide resources that help children in foster care develop a sense of normalcy and self-worth.

Our History

Discover how we partner with the Guardian ad Litem program to provide children with a voice and enrich their lives.

    Children’s Guardian Fund’s Annual Fundraising Luncheon

    Wednesday, November 10, 2021

    Doors open for registration at 11:30 am

    Luncheon at 12:00 – 1:30 pm

    Michael’s on East, 1212 East Ave, Sarasota, FL 34239

    For questions, call: 941-504-9515

    Our luncheon theme is “Helping Our Kids Soar.” Children who have lost the comfort of parental support face many challenges and have needs that cannot be met through state funding. This year we will explore the challenges that relative caregivers face when they become full-time “parents” overnight.  Join us to hear how these heroes step up under heartbreaking circumstances to empower, protect, and raise the next generation.

    We realize that not everyone is comfortable with attending in person.  We will be making event content available after the luncheon so that our supporters who are not able to be with us in person can still enjoy the program content.
