Art of Advocacy Gala 2023

Thank you to all who joined us for The Art of Advocacy Gala! The evening was warm – and the energy at the event was even warmer! Everyone enjoyed a beautiful evening of friendship, music from DJ Krazy, live art from GaKnew Roxwell, and delicious food.

Thank you to our amazing host, Angela Gibbs, whose humor and charm sparkled on stage. Champion Award honoree, Mayor Karen Bass, inspired us to keep fighting for those whose voices often go unheard, and reminded us that a society is best judged by how it treats its children. We were also grateful to honor Joseph D. Mandel and Jenny Sheets for their dedication to CLC and ongoing contributions to children in foster care.


2023 Advocates Gala

The Advocates Gala was a great success! We honored Judge Jerilyn Borack for her dedication to children and families and Ticket to Dream for their ongoing support. We hope you will join us again next year!
