Spring is almost here, and in anticipation of the season of growth and rebirth, River Oak is launching "Spring for Kids," a fresh way to participate in the ongoing work of nurturing our community's children.
"Spring for Kids" replaces our Annual Children's Spring Ball as River Oak's most important fundraiser to improve the lives of children and families who need our help. "Spring for Kids" is based on the belief that each child holds the promise for a happy and healthy life as long as he or she is loved and nurtured. At River Oak, our goal is to help families resolve the challenging issues in their lives so that they can stay together safely and raise children who are happy, healthy, and strong.

Maria's Story
|
|
When Maria first came to River Oak, her life was extremely chaotic. She had recently become the sole provider for her children Griselda, 5, and Juan, 1, on a very limited income. Maria didn't know how she'd be able to afford her rent or care for her children. She was under a great deal of stress. Read more.

We look forward to continuing to update you on the progress of our children and families, of our programs and services, and of our new "Spring for Kids" fundraiser. Thank you again for your ongoing commitment to the well-being of our community's vulnerable children.
With warm regards,
Mary C. Hargrave, Ph.D.
President and Chief Executive Officer
