Join us at Have a Heart for Kids Day in Olympia to advocate for critical services for children and families in Washington! We’re thrilled to be partnering with Children’s Alliance this year to plan a powerful day of advocacy.
Together with child advocates from across the state, you will speak directly with your elected representatives, participate in a family-friendly rally on the Capitol steps — and make the case for why the State Legislature should preserve and protect essential services our kids rely on.

Past Events
Kindering Luncheon 2025
Join us on October 24, 2025, for our 20th Annual Luncheon at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue.
Success for Kindering is when every child with a developmental delay or disability has access to the services they need to thrive. To make this a reality, Kindering offers a wide range of supports for children birth to 11 years old, maintains an expert staff, and proactively addresses barriers to services. Join us for a complimentary lunch and learn about our programs and the impact they have on the children in our care.
