In collaboration with Eddie V’s Fort Lauderdale, Kip Hunter-Epstein and Joey Epstein recently held a ‘Dining for a Cause’ dinner event for ChildNet. The charity night featured guest speaker Nika King, an actress known for her roles in Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot and HBO’s hit show Euphoria. Nika, a passionate advocate for children in the foster care system, delivered a moving speech about the importance of caring for our most vulnerable children during the wine-pairing dinner. The event successfully raised significant funds and awareness for ChildNet’s mission to protect abused, abandoned and neglected children in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
ChildNet has been chosen by the Florida Department of Children & Families as the Community-Based Care (CBC) lead agency in Broward and Palm Beach counties. It is the sole private nonprofit entity overseeing each county’s local child welfare system. It carries out this role by supervising extensive networks of child welfare service providers and, in Broward, also by acting as the exclusive centralized child welfare case management provider. The organization is dedicated to safeguarding abused, abandoned, and neglected children in the communities it operates. Achieving this mission necessitates ongoing input and assistance from community stakeholders and service providers.
