Each fall, we come together to shine a light on the individuals and organizations that go the extra mile to make life better for Maine’s children and families!

The Maine Children's Alliance celebrates those who "stick their necks out" for Maine children and families! We honor our Giraffe Award winners with our annual luncheon and celebration.

The Champions for Children event celebrates outstanding contributions to children’s health and safety, early care and education, and family economic security. It’s also an important opportunity to support the Maine Children’s Alliance and our work advocating for policies that help kids thrive.
