Celebrate Maine’s Champions for Children Giraffe Awards


Each year, the Giraffe Awards honor individuals, organizations, and community champions who “stick their necks out” for children and families through exceptional advocacy, leadership, service, and support. These awards celebrate those making a meaningful impact in the lives of children across our communities and recognize the dedication, compassion, and commitment that help children thrive!


We invite you to join us for this special gathering as we celebrate courage, commitment, and community - and recommit ourselves to building a Maine where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.


Join us Saturday, October 3rd, at The Harraseeket Inn and Event House in Freeport, Maine. Event details and tickets will be available soon.
