This fall, FACCES is excited to bring our community together for two special events centered on appreciation, connection, and family fun. Whether you’re a longtime supporter, volunteer, community partner, parent, or student, we invite you to join us as we celebrate the people and relationships that make our work possible.
We are thrilled to announce the return of Friends of FACCES 2026 on Monday, October 26, 2026.
This adults-only celebration is one of our favorite events of the year and serves as an opportunity to recognize and thank the volunteers, community partners, supporters, schools, businesses, and organizations that help advance the FACCES mission.
Whether you’ve attended our events, volunteered your time, provided resources, or partnered with us to strengthen the community, Friends of FACCES is our opportunity to celebrate you.


Celebrating Those Who Make a Difference
Our volunteers are the heart of FACCES. Their generosity and dedication help create meaningful experiences for families throughout the year. Likewise, our community partners play a vital role in helping us connect families to resources, opportunities, and support services that promote well-being and success.
Friends of FACCES is an evening dedicated to appreciation, fellowship, and connection with the individuals who help make our work possible.
Additional event details will be shared soon. For now, mark your calendars and stay tuned for more information about this special evening of celebration.
