Save The Date - Raising Solo’s 1 Year Celebration
We’re turning ONE!
What started as a simple mission—to ensure no parent has to navigate their journey alone—has grown into a community of support, connection, and empowerment for families across the Hudson Valley.
Join us as we celebrate Raising Solo’s first birthday with our Community Family Day on Saturday, August 15, 2026, from 2 PM–6 PM in New Windsor, NY. Families can enjoy community resources, children’s activities, food, hygiene essentials, entertainment, and more!
We’re also seeking sponsors to help make this event meaningful and memorable. Sponsorship opportunities are available now, with commitments due by July 15, 2026.
Thank you to every family, volunteer, partner, donor, and supporter who has been part of this incredible first year. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Because raising a child was never meant to be done alone.
Cumplimos un año!
Lo que comenzó como una misión sencilla—asegurar que ningún padre o madre tenga que recorrer su camino en soledad—se ha convertido en una comunidad de apoyo, conexión y empoderamiento para familias en todo el Hudson Valley.
Acompáñanos a celebrar el primer aniversario de Raising Solo en nuestro Día Familiar Comunitario, el Sábado 15 de Agosto de 2026, de 2PM a 6PM en New Windsor, NY. Las familias podrán disfrutar de recursos comunitarios, comida, actividades para niños, artículos de higiene, entretenimiento y mucho más.
También estamos buscando patrocinadores que nos ayuden a hacer de este evento una celebración significativa e inolvidable. Las oportunidades de patrocinio están disponibles ahora y las contribuciones deben realizarse antes del 15 de Julio de 2026.
Gracias a cada familia, voluntario, aliado, donante y seguidor que ha sido parte de este increíble primer año. Nada de esto sería posible sin ustedes.
Porque criar a un hijo nunca estuvo destinado a hacerse solo.
Dads, This one’s for you!
