Celebrate 18!
Celebrate 18! is an annual state-wide birthday party held in mid-July for young women aged out and aging out of foster care. The day-long event is an opportunity for these young women to be pampered with new clothes, shoes, jewelry, and services by professional hairdressers and makeup artists. The party concludes with a catered dinner, the Happy Birthday song, messages from foster alum and tons of gifts. Celebrate 18! is a birthday celebration they will never forget.
