2026 Reaching for the Stars
Get ready for an unforgettable evening of inspiration, celebration, and impact at Children’s Aid Society’s “Reaching for the Stars” event on November 17th! This exciting annual event brings together community leaders, supporters, and champions for children to celebrate the life-changing work happening every day at Children’s Aid Society. This year, we are proud to honor Carol Wagman of York, whose dedication and generosity have helped strengthen our community and expand opportunities for children and families in need. Guiding us through the evening will be the dynamic and engaging MaryEllen Pann, serving as emcee and bringing her energy, warmth, and passion for helping children to the stage. Guests can expect a vibrant and uplifting atmosphere filled with meaningful stories, powerful moments, and opportunities to make a real difference. From celebrating milestones to looking ahead at the future of our programs—including the impact of the Werner Early Learning Childcare Center—this is a night that truly reflects the heart of our mission. Join us as we come together to honor, celebrate, and invest in brighter futures. Because when a community unites to lift up its children, there’s no limit to how high they can reach. Let’s come together to support a brighter future for our community’s youngest stars!
Get ready to Reach for the Stars at this fun-filled event benefiting the Children's Aid Society and the Werner Early Learning Childcare Center! Join us at the beautiful Yorktowne Hotel for a night of inspiration and impact.
