Children in Placement is thrilled to announce the return of its signature fundraising event, the 3rd Annual Flavors of Hope, to be held on Friday, September 12, 2025, at the beautiful Fairfield Museum & History Center. This highly anticipated celebration unites community members, philanthropists, and local businesses for an evening of purpose, flavor, and fun—all to benefit Connecticut’s most vulnerable children.

Guests will enjoy unlimited tastings from over a dozen local food and beverage vendors, offering an exceptional selection of fine wines, craft beers, artisanal cocktails, and gourmet dishes. The evening also features live entertainment, a silent auction, and a chance to make a meaningful impact.

“Flavors of Hope is more than an event—it’s a powerful opportunity to come together and support abused and neglected children throughout Connecticut,” said Janet Freimuth, Executive Director of Children in Placement. “Every sponsorship and every ticket purchased helps us provide advocacy and secure safe, loving homes for children in need.”

Sponsorship opportunities are now available, ranging from $500 Sparkle Sponsor to $10,000 Platinum Sponsor, with benefits including event tickets, recognition on marketing materials, speaking opportunities, and more. All proceeds directly benefit Children in Placement’s work advocating for children in the child welfare system. Children in Placement is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that Connecticut’s abused and neglected children are placed in safe, permanent homes through effective court advocacy and community support.

Let’s raise a glass—and raise hope—for Connecticut’s children.
