Celebrating our incredible clinical team! We’re proud to share that our team had the opportunity to attend the Florida Behavioral Health Conference in Orlando, Florida. 🌴✨

It was a wonderful experience filled with learning, collaboration, networking, and connecting with other professionals who share our passion for improving behavioral health and the lives of those we serve.

We’re grateful for opportunities like this that allow our team to grow, gain new insights, and bring fresh knowledge and ideas back to the people and communities we support.

Here’s to continued growth, education, and making a meaningful difference together! 🧠💛

Thank you The Lake Club Women’s Charitable Foundation for your visit and for taking the time to learn more about All Star and the children and families we serve. 💙✨

Thank you for sharing our mission with your community and for your commitment to making a difference for children and families right here at home. It was a joy to welcome you to our Campus of Hope & Healing!

💙💛Learning. Connecting. Making an Impact. 💛💙

Recently, our members had the opportunity to tour All Star Children's Foundation and see firsthand the incredible work being done to create a safe, nurturing environment for children and families in the foster care system.

The need is close to home, with approximately 350 children in foster care across Sarasota, Manatee and DeSoto Counties. Our visit was a meaningful reminder of why supporting organizations serving children and families in our own community matters so deeply.

We were inspired by the beautiful campus, the support provided to foster families, and most importantly, the care and compassion surrounding the children they serve.

We also want to recognize Graci McGillicuddy, Founder of All Star Children’s Foundation, whose vision, leadership and longtime commitment to children have made an extraordinary impact in our community. What a wonderful legacy of compassion and service.

A special thank you to our Outreach and Service Committee for their commitment in continuing to learn about our community organizations.

Together, we continue to learn, connect and strengthen our impact for women, children and families in our community.

With heartfelt gratitude, we recognize our Twinkle Ball Shooting Star Sponsors, Dan & Clare Murphy, whose generosity helps light the way for children in foster care to shine brighter through innovation, science, and compassion.

Dan and Clare’s enduring dedication has helped shape All Star into a place where children and families can find safety, support, and the opportunity to thrive after experiencing trauma. Their generosity and steadfast belief in our mission have touched so many lives, and we are incredibly grateful for the trust they have placed in All Star and the many ways they continue to stand alongside those we serve. 💙

Join us at the Twinkle Ball as we celebrate the brighter futures made possible by extraordinary friends and supporters like Dan & Clare. ✨💫

This week, our All Star team took an exciting step forward through High Fidelity Wraparound training with NAMI Sarasota and Manatee Counties!

We’re strengthening our case management approach with new tools to better partner with families, build on their strengths, and connect them with the support they need to thrive.

We’re grateful for opportunities to grow as a team and continually refine how we walk alongside the families we serve. We’re excited to see how this training will shape our work and deepen our commitment to family-centered, collaborative care!

What a memorable day celebrating two very special milestones!🩵✨ We had the joy of celebrating these sweet twins as they officially became part of their forever family and graduated from therapy at All Star all in the same week!

We’re so grateful to have been a small part of their journey and can’t wait to see all that is in store for these two!

We kicked off the school year with a special Back-to-School Bingo Night for the children we serve! It was a night full of fun, laughter, and the perfect way to close out summer. ✨🎒

A huge thank you to Meadows Community Association for their incredible donation of school supplies and for helping make sure our kids are ready to head back to the classroom feeling prepared, confident, and supported.

We’re so grateful for a community that continues to show up for kids. ⭐️

Healing begins when families are heard.

All Star is breaking down walls and creating a space where the birth families have input on what’s best for their kids. This critical step is one way we create a space for healing. See what All Star Case Manager- Megan Somers has to say about the work All Star is doing to help with birth family engagement, helping kids heal, and work towards going home.
