Join us for CMFCAA’s 18th Annual Legacy of Love Gala
Our most anticipated fundraising event of the year is back! The Central Missouri Foster Care & Adoption Association (CMFCAA) cordially invites you to the 18th annual Legacy of Love Gala.

This Year’s Theme: “Golden Promise: Where Compassion Becomes Permanency”This theme captures the core of our shared mission: transforming immediate care into lifelong stability and turning hope into permanent, lasting homes for children in need. It is a celebration of the profound moments when compassion takes root and builds a foundation where families can truly thrive.

An Evening of Impact and EleganceThoughtfully designed to blend warmth with elegant storytelling, the night will feature:• A delicious, professionally prepared dinner & cocktails• Exciting live and silent auctions• Firsthand stories from families whose lives have been forever changed by your generosity

Why Your Presence MattersCMFCAA serves a vital 24-county region, providing essential resources like clothing, care packs, trauma-informed training, kinship advocacy, family respite opportunities, and intensive reunification services. Every dollar raised at the Gala goes directly toward providing safe, loving, and permanent connections for foster, adoptive, and kinship families across Central Missouri.
Your attendance and support are more than a contribution – they are a promise that our community’s most vulnerable children will have the tools, stability, and care they need to succeed.
