First Fridays is a speakers’ series on children’s issues. Leaders from across the community will discuss a broad range of issues affecting children and families – topics range from pre-kindergarten education to teenage health, from infant neuro-development to custody law. In an effort to heighten public awareness of the challenges facing children and families in our community and provide support to parents, the Council for Children’s Rights is opening these events to all interested community members.

Thanks to everyone's support during the kick-off at the Ritz Carlton on October 17th.

The fun will continue on April 21st - 24th at various locations around Charlotte. Check out www.charlottewineandfood.com for more details on wine tastings, dinner parties and Galas! We look forward to seeing everyone in April.

CWFW, which is held in the Spring of every even numbered year, attracts guest winemakers and wineries from all over the world and has grown into one of the largest events of its kind in the Southeast. Since 1989, CWFW events have raised of $3.4 million for local Charlotte-area charities.
