          Celebrating 50 Years of Powering Early Education and Care

          Blue and Green 4C for children logo 4C for Children is turning 50 this year!

          During the past five decades, we’ve seen so much change and advance in the world of early education and care. Throughout this year, we’ll be celebrating all that’s been accomplished on this journey and paying tribute to many who have impacted that journey.

          We’ll also be looking to the future and how we–with the continued support of our partners and supporters–can continue serving child care providers and families to ensure our community’s youngest minds have the critical early education and care opportunities that they need to not only succeed, but thrive. You can read more in this press release.

          Some of the larger events that will be part of our celebration:

          • 2022 4C for Children Champions Gala: A Masquerade Under the Stars Saturday, October 8 at Cincinnati Music Hall: Honoring 50 early childhood education champions who have made an impact on young children and families in our community.
          • Securing the Future 50: The $50 for 50 Years Fundraising for the Future Campaign: This fall fundraising campaign will invite donors to create a unique fundraising page that can be shared via email, text, and social media.
          • Farewell to 50 – A Year-End Celebration: A community gathering to share final reflections on the past 50 years and focus forward to the future.

          We’re excited to celebrate this milestone with the supporters, community partners who have and continue to make our work possible as well as with the truly remarkable child care providers and families we’ve been privileged to serve in the past 50 years. Onward!
