NOAS provides foster care and adoption services to teens, school-age children in foster care, and also young adults who have been emancipated out of care by recruiting, preparing, and supporting specialized families who want to open their hearts and homes to nurture and guide these foster youth.

This fundraiser will consist of a cocktail hour in The Vault at the Metropolitan at The 9 Hotel, a dinner buffet in the Mint Ballroom, and lively entertainment. In addition, there will be a cash raffle and a chance, silent and live auction. After the event, there will be a Private After Party at The Wild Eagle Saloon with games and appetizers. Your donation will not only help us make this event fun and successful, but you will also be helping the 4,000 children that are currently in foster care in Ohio. Plus, your support will help young adults who have aged out of care in Ohio. You can help us reach our goal to recruit and prepare more adoptive families for Ohio foster youth. We need you in order to make an impact. Your donation will be greatly appreciated and acknowledged in our event program and on our website (noas.com).

The attending audience is local families, adults, and businesses involved in children's charity and believes in the NOAS mission to inspire, develop, and nurture enduring support and connections for current and former foster youth and those at risk of coming into care.

Our adoption agency is different from many others. We do not charge fees to the families who adopt. The children we place for adoption have been permanently removed from their birth families because their parents could not or would not care for them. NOAS works towards bettering the circumstances for these children with the end goal of finding a forever family for every child. We plan to use this donation to make a difference in the lives of children in Northeast Ohio.
