CFGC raises more than $100,000 at our 2025 Centennial Anniversary Gala

Earlier this summer, The Child and Family Guidance Center marked a milestone 100 years in the making.

Our Centennial Gala was a joyful celebration of reflection, gratitude, and renewed purpose—a moment to honor the past and recommit to the future.

Together with our dedicated team and incredible supporters, we celebrated a century of showing up for children and families—in homes, schools, clinics, and moments of crisis. We recognized the heart of our organization: our staff, whose steady, compassionate work changes lives every single day. And we honored Patrick McCabe, whose leadership and generosity have created space for families to breathe, heal, and hope.

🦋 To everyone who joined us—thank you.

🦋 To all our supporters—your generosity helps us say yes to every family who walks through our doors, regardless of circumstance.

As we begin our second century of service, our mission remains the same: to be there—for every child, every family, and every moment that matters.

 

Thank you for being part of this legacy. And thank you for helping us carry it forward.

As we celebrate a century of service, we’re honored to share a special video from our 2025 Gala that highlights the heart of our work: the families we serve and the people who support them.

Take a closer look at two of our vital initiatives—the Early Childhood Consultation Partnership and the Greater Bridgeport Home Visiting Partnership—and hear directly from the mothers, families, and clinicians who bring our mission to life every day.

Many thanks to Chris Jones and his team at Shoreline Video Productions for capturing these transformative moments!

 

Honoring Patrick McCabe as our 2025 Champion for Children

Patrick McCabe, Our 2025 Champion for Children

This year, we honored Patrick McCabe for his board leadership and philanthropic efforts, which provide crucial support to families, ensure food security, and assist with childcare and medical costs. His support has brought joy to children and eased the challenges faced by parents and caregivers working hard to make ends meet.

Last month, we celebrated at our annual staff party! 🎉

Celebrating 100 years, we partied like it was 1925! We journeyed to an era of well-dressed gents and flappers.

First of all, a huge congratulations to Ramon A. Jimenez, Outpatient Support Therapist, on receiving the Cay White, MD Award in recognition of his nearly 20 years of dedication, leadership, and being there for children in our communities.

Lastly, many thanks to Xiomara Lopez, Outpatient Clinician, and Francesca Maldonado, Care Coordinator, for curating this event. 🥂✨
