For 47 years, 4Cs has been an essential child care resource, provider and advocate for Sonoma County. We spend only 12% of our overall budget on administration, so we know how to keep costs down and service quality high. You’ll be proud to know that your support helps fill the unmet need for 4Cs vital community services, such as:

• Referring more than 1,200 families yearly to licensed, convenient child care, so working parents can stay on the job or complete job training.
• Providing care and early education for over 500 children from low-income families in our 12 preschools and providing 1,800 families with childcare through our subsidized voucher program.
• Insuring 3,000 children get nutritious food while in child care, to foster healthy beginnings.
• Educating child care providers about effective early education activities, child health, nutrition and safety, so our kids get the best care possible.

Herman G. Hernandez Jr. will be lending his Auctioneer skills for the live auction. Don't miss this exciting opportunity to share an evening with this active community member who works tirelessly for the betterment of Sonoma County's youth through his work with Active 20-30 Club and the PG&E Community Foundation!

Lisa Wittke-Schaffner, former Healdsburg Mayor and Board Member of the John Jordan Foundation, will be Master of Ceremonies. She is a passionate advocate for early education and the empowerment of youth. She believes that way to beat poverty is through education of all children.
