Central Regional Advisory Board

For the Love of Children Annual Luncheon

The Central Regional Advisory Board hosts its major annual fundraiser, For the Love of Children luncheon, each year to support critical programs and services for Bloomington/Normal area children and families.

Thanks to our caring community, in 2017 we raised more than $27,900 for the agency’s programs and services in our area!

Advisory Board Overview

The Regional Advisory Board supports the mission of the agency and its members serve as advocates and ambassadors for the agency about the issues facing the children and families we serve.

In 2016, the Central Region served more than 2,200 vulnerable children and families.

The Advisory Board also helps secure resources for the area’s programs including:

• Foster Care
• Child & Family Counseling
• Early Childhood Care & Education
• Intact Family Services
• Parent Support Prevention
• Early Intervention
• Youth Services
