Family and fun is at the heart of our events and activities.
 
Bowling Fundraiser benefiting Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing kids' programs at Family Services will be held June 19, 2010 from 6:30 -10:00 pm at Capri Lanes in Kettering, Ohio.  
 
100 percent of the proceeds from the event benefit kids of our Community Services for the Deaf Program through drug and alcohol prevention education, camp scholarships, information and advocacy, SCAN (Stop Child Abuse and Neglect), counseling and case management (we strive to continue providing this service regardless of the family's ability to pay), and special projects. We enrich the lives of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing kids--to enable them to lead rich productive lives. For registration and sponsorship information contact Jennifer Heath, Director of Development at jheath@fsadayton.org.

Families Matter Poster & Essay Contest
Each year, from August through October, students from around the Miami Valley send in posters or essays under the current year's theme. The winners are selected by a panel of judges and recognized at an awards breakfast in November, during or near National Family Week. The contest recognizes talent and creativity in children and youth in our community and reinforces the importance of family.
 
2009 marked the 9th year for the Families Matter Poster and Essay Contest. We received over 400 entries with 21 winners that were honored at the Families Matter Awards Breakfast.  Check back in August for the 2010 theme and prizes!
