Celebrating Great Heart & Soul

“Thank you” is a phrase we take seriously at The Children’s Center. The love, the support and the commitment our volunteers make to our children and families is nothing short of amazing — and we are so grateful for it.

That’s why, in 2009 we created the Lisa V. Ford Heart & Soul Award Luncheon to recognize and thank individuals, parents, employees and organizations who have made exceptional volunteerism contributions to our center throughout the year.
