Our 2026 Celebration of Family Wellbeing
Every April, in recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month, our supporters come together for our annual fundraiser. This year, nearly 100 people joined us for the Celebration of Family Wellbeing and helped us kick off FamilyWise’s 50th anniversary year! Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us!
Attendees had the chance to bid on silent auction items, enter raffles, write words of encouragement for families, play a guessing game, and complete a passport of activities for a chance to win fun prizes. Thanks to the support of sponsors like Marsden Services and Associated Bank and all the donors that contributed this during Child Abuse Prevention Month, together we raised more than $25,000 to strengthen the stability and resilience of families and communities.
If you were unable to make it to the event, you can still help us reach our goal. In honor of our anniversary, our goal is for 50 people to join us as monthly donors. Learn more and sign up for a one-time gift or monthly contributions here.
- When you give $25/month, your gift provides annual background checks for Circle of Parents facilitators leading support groups for parents and kids.
- When you give $50/month, your gift provides food and transportation support to a Circle of Parents group for a year, making attending group sessions easier for families who might otherwise be isolated.
- When you give $100/month, your gift provides a Circle of Parents startup kit to a new group, including facilitator training, parenting workbooks, and materials for engaging parents and kids at group sessions.
Another way you can support FamilyWise in honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month is to read and share our 2026 Family Wellbeing Index, which informs and helps community members advocate for supports that strengthen the wellbeing of families across Minnesota.
