Family Events welcome adoptive and prospective families to meet with other families for support, connection, and fun. We have picnics, swim parties, dessert nights, an annual Family Fun Day celebration, and more. Come share your experience, talk with others, and meet new friends. Simply click on the area you live in below to view events in your community!
Don't forget to also check out our Fundraising Events. We've worked hard to create fantastic excuses for you to get out and enjoy yourself while supporting AFABC! Events like our Jazz at the Station Fundraising Party or Wine on the Mountain Food and Wine Pairing Experience have not only raised thousands for adoption but are also amongst our most popular and well-attended events.
