It is a time when we bring awareness to the critical need for foster families across New York State.

Individuals, groups and businesses can show support and help bring awareness by pledging to Go Purple for Kids in Foster Care throughout the month of May!

Be creative – have a purple dress down day, wear purple hats, bake purple cupcakes, or find any other creative way to Go Purple and help us build awareness of this important need.

Text "go purple" in lowercase with "go" in light blue and "purple" in dark purple. Above "go" is a light blue heart outlined with lines, resembling open book pages. The background is white.
