Marking a major milestone in our journey as a unified organization, this inaugural event will celebrate the many highlights of the past year
About this Event

Following our official merger in 2023 of Bidwell Riverside and Hawthorn Hill, Families Forward has continued to strengthen our ability to serve families in need throughout our community. To best utilize our resources, we've consolidated our two annual events into one signature celebration. We're thrilled to announce the inaugural Families Forward Celebration, taking place on November 6, 2025, from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

This special evening marks a major milestone in our journey as a unified organization. Together, we're delivering even greater impact across our housing, food, family support, and early childhood programs.

Join us for an intimate evening of connection and celebration, featuring curated appetizers and cocktails as we share highlights and wins from the full scope of our services. We will honor the many families, partners, and supporters like you who make our mission possible.

This streamlined format creates the perfect atmosphere for meaningful conversations while setting the stage for a bold new era of fundraising, culminating in our biggest campaign yet in 2026.

Let's celebrate and champion the great work we are collectively doing in the community!
