Fostering Connections March 2026 Newsletter

Dear Friends of Fostering Connections,

As we move into the spring season, I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to our incredible community.

The Art of Family Gala was a beautiful evening that reminded us just how powerful it is when a community comes together in support of youth and families impacted by foster care. Seeing so many supporters, partners, volunteers, and families gathered in one room was truly meaningful, and I am deeply thankful to everyone who played a role in making the evening such a success.

Because of your generosity, the gala helped provide critical support for our programs in the year ahead. Your investment allows us to continue expanding opportunities for youth leadership, career readiness, family connection, and advocacy across Northeast Florida.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our sponsors, donors, volunteers, board members, and families who continue to believe in the mission of Fostering Connections. Your support makes this work possible.

As we look ahead, we are excited about the continued momentum of our spring programs—from Teen Talk gatherings and Florida Youth SHINE leadership initiatives to our Family Empowerment Night celebration. These programs create spaces where youth and families can build community, develop leadership skills, and find the support they deserve.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

In Partnership,

Aubrie Simpson-Gotham

Founder & CEO
