I am proud to share that Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro will be joining our Spring Soirée on Thursday, May 13!
Congresswoman DeLauro has long been a champion for immigrant children and families and asylum-seekers. A defender of working class families, Congresswoman DeLauro has fought to improve the quality of life for people around the country and ensure all children have the tools and opportunities they need to flourish. She has supported important legislation including The Dream and Promise Act, The Fair Day in Court for Kids Act, The Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, The Access to Counsel Act, and The No Ban Act to name a few. We are thankful for her leadership and service and excited to hear from her at our virtual benefit as she presents our founder Maria Woltjen with the inaugural Waymaker Child Advocate Award.
P.S. Our virtual auction for the benefit is now live! Auction items- which would make great Mother's Day gifts- include exclusive, virtual conversations with award-winning authors Isabel Allende and Maaza Mengiste, a private virtual dance class with Gaby Diaz, Season 12 Winner of So You Think You Can Dance, invaluable art, guitars from FENDER, and more. Start bidding now.
