We just wrapped up our 2017 Celebration Breakfast, and we are so grateful to everyone who came! If you were able to make it, we hope you enjoyed yourself and feel inspired by the tremendous work underway to support NYC children and their families.

If you weren’t able to attend, please know that you were missed – and that, as always, we deeply appreciate your continued support of CCC.

This morning was a powerful reminder that, although we are living in tumultuous times and our most vulnerable children and families face serious threats to their well-being, we are surrounded by fierce champions for truth who refuse to give up. Our speakers and supporters near and far believe deeply that we each have a role to play in keeping children healthy, housed, educated, and safe, and they are unwavering in their commitment to live out that belief every day.

To catch up on the program or revisit its content, check out our tweets from this morning. And to keep the conversation going, take action to protect children, raise awareness of the issues the children of New York City face, and support CCC, there are several actions you can take:

• Ask your Representative to extend Children’s Health Insurance Program funding as soon as possible and without cuts to other federal healthcare programs
• Learn more about this morning’s honorees Lauren Duca, Nancy Solomon, and Shaun King
• Explore data on Keeping Track Online to stay up-to-date on the wellbeing of children in New York City
• Make a financial contribution to CCC that will allow us to maintain our independent, fact-based advocacy on behalf of all of New York City’s children
• Send a tweet: Nearly a million NYC children rely on Medicaid for health insurance. #ProtectTheirCare #BePartoftheSolution w/ @CCCNewYork
• Stay tuned for photos from the event and keep in touch throughout the year for ongoing opportunities to learn more and take action

Once again, thank you so much for supporting CCC. It is because of you that we are able to advance programs, policies, and solutions that change the lives of New York City children and families for the better.
