40th Anniversary Celebration of Family: The Art of Adoption

In commemoration of four decades of creating families for more than 23,000 children, we have established an Adoption Hall of Fame. Its first inductees will be Carolyn Johnson, the Center’s founder, and Alba Martinez, a dynamic child and adoption advocate.

As part of this exciting celebration, 10 prominent Philadelphia artists are creating works of art, each inspired by the story of a child who has lived in foster care. The pieces will be auctioned that evening, alongside other high end items, to support the Center’s work and build awareness for the thousands of children in our community who need loving families

In addition, the ART OF ADOPTION gala will include cocktails, a delicious three course dinner and performance art.
