Celebrating 10 Years.
Building for the Next 10.
Join us as Children and Family Enrichment at Idlewild (C.A.F.E.) celebrates a decade of strengthening children, empowering parents and building stronger families throughout the Memphis community.
This milestone celebration is more than an anniversary. It is an opportunity to invest in the future of Memphis families. Our goal is to raise funds to expand parenting education and family literacy programs that will serve children and families for years to come.
Proceeds from the evening will support C.A.F.E.’s 10th Anniversary Campaign and help launch two transformational initiatives:
Parenting Education Academy: Providing parents with evidence-based education, practical tools, and ongoing support to help children and families thrive.
Family Literacy Initiative: Touch, Talk, Read, Play. Helping families build early literacy skills through books, family reading experiences, and resources that prepare children for lifelong success.
