We would like to once again thank Walmart, our 2025 Advocacy Dinner and Awards Ceremony Featured Partner, for making this celebration of amazing advocates possible! Children’s Week Florida hosted nearly 700 dinner guests for a memorable evening which featured a cocktail hour, networking opportunities, youth entertainment from the Deerlake Middle School Orchestra, as well as inspiring words from Keynote Speaker, BJ Daniels and Kid Keynote, Natalie Nelson.

At this special event, we were proud to honor the 2025 Advocate Award recipients Loranne Ausley (Chiles), Dr. Jose L. Dotres (Impact), and Christopher Page (Youth), for their exceptional advocacy and leadership efforts. Make sure you’ve joined our mailing list to receive information about the 2026 Advocacy Award call for nominations when they open this fall.
