We’re excited to host the 2026 Advocacy Dinner and Awards Ceremony! During the Advocacy Dinner, we will honor our 2026 Chiles, Impact, and Youth Advocate Award recipients for their dedicated work and efforts on behalf of Florida’s young children, teens, and families.

This memorable evening will feature a cocktail hour, networking opportunities, youth entertainment, as well as inspiring words from our Keynote Speaker, Coy Bowles – Musician, Author, Educator, and Advocate. He is a member of the Zac Brown Band, three-time Grammy winner, and author of five children’s books. As a dedicated children’s advocate, Coy is a board member for Georgia Foundation for Early Care and Learning, involved with the Georgia Governor’s office education initiatives, and recently became the Region IV Head Start Ambassador on Early Literacy.

“With having such a blessed life and career, I feel motivated to give back to teachers and give kids a better understanding of confidence and creativity.” – Coy Bowles
