Join us at the 2024 Blue Party!
The Foundling’s Junior Board, a dynamic group of young professionals dedicated to volunteering their time and talents to advocate and reinforce The Foundling’s mission, is excited to host its annual spring event, The Blue Party. This event brings together more than 400 guests each year who share a passion for supporting children, adults, and families on their paths to stability, strength, and independence. This event, hosted each May, offers guests the chance to meet the staff who support our family’s community and enjoy an incredible evening filled with craft cocktails, a sampling of NYC’s finest foods, music, auction and raffle items, and more!
WHY BLUE? Blue is the official color of National Foster Care Month. We wear and decorate in blue to signify our commitment to young people in foster care and those navigating the complexities of the child welfare system.
Click here to win exclusive items and experiences – our raffle and auction will be open until 9:30PM on May 1!
