Hopefully, the end of 2022 brought you celebrations or rest, whichever you needed most. As you and your children look forward to another year of growth, experiences and challenges, The Children’s Trust will be with you along the way, providing you with support, resources and events that help your children live their fullest lives. Here are some dates to look forward to.
* All dates are subject to change, so check www.TheChildrensTrust.org as individual events near.

The year will get started with the traditional Martin Luther King Holiday and Parade in Liberty City, Battle of the Bands at Southridge High School and more.

If you haven’t already signed your children up for summer camp, don’t wait any longer! Visit www.TheChildrensTrust.org/SummerCamps for more information on Trust-funded summer camps, Summer 305 and more. The semifinals and finals of the 2023 Young Talent Big Dreams competition will be held.
July - August
The annual Battle of the Books will take place in the summer to make sure our children continue reading throughout these months to avoid the common summer slide!

October
Celebrate Halloween in a safe, family-friendly environment with the Spooky Symphony, a celebration of the most scarily beautiful music at the Dade County Auditorium.
