Each year the event, which always features speakers and award winners, brings together families, friends and the communities involved with The Childs-pace Foundation’s after-school and pre-school centers in Costa Mesa, Anaheim and Buena Park.
The Buena Park location is an after-school program at Holder School (9550 Holder Street). Anaheim, on the other hand, has an after-school program and pre-school program at Cerritos Elementary School (3731 Cerritos Ave.).
To celebrate child care and its value to children, working families and communities, The Childs-pace Foundation presents awards to special friends who contribute time and energy to the success and effectiveness of the centers’ programs.
The event will include dinner, live and silent auctions, guest speakers, music and dancing.
In 2012, The Childs-pace fundraiser was vital to the centers’ ability to continue providing after-school and pre-school child care for 120 children and their working families. More than 120 fundraiser guests attended in 2012.
The Childs-pace Foundation debuted in 1978 and has operated a child development center in Costa Mesa then. The Buena Park and Anaheim locations both opened in 2000, with Anaheim adding the pre-school center in 2005.
