Best Foot Forward

We kindly ask for your support as our incoming college students prepare to take the next big chapter and "Step" into Freshman year!

Whether they're moving into a campus dorm or creating a study space at home, every student deserves an environment that inspires success. This year, we are empowering our students to curate their own spaces by choosing the items that best fit their unique needs, personal style, and academic goals.

If you would like to help set them up for success, there are several ways to show your support:

- Shop our Amazon Wishlist and purchase an item a student has selected for their new space. Click here: https://a.co/08FRLS6V

- Make a financial contribution through our online donation link to help provide essential items and support. Click here: https://bestfoot.org/donations

- Donate gift cards by dropping them off at the BFF office Monday - Thursday, from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Together, we can help our students start this exciting new chapter with the tools, confidence, and independence they need to succeed!

The celebration continues for the phenomenal Class of 2026! 🎓✨ These graduates are a powerful reminder of what is possible when hard work is met with the right support, encouragement, and determination.

Art Day at BFF was a wonderful success! Through a hands-on workshop led by Lynn Travis Stender, our students explored new artistic techniques in a fun and encouraging environment.

As Artist in Residence at The Boca Raton and a dedicated BFF supporter, Lynn brings incredible passion and energy to each visit. Alongside Laura McCutcheon and Merryl Reynolds, who generously volunteered their time, the team guided everyone through a beautiful collage project that inspired self-expression and personal growth.

The morning was filled with excitement as students crafted their own unique masterpieces, each leaving with a beautifully framed piece to proudly display. What we do at BFF goes far beyond academics. Providing these special opportunities helps our students build confidence, discover new talents, and thrive in every way!

We are incredibly proud of our high school graduates for reaching this amazing milestone! Watching these students grow, overcome challenges, and succeed is the absolute best part of what we do. Join us in celebrating the incredible Class of 2026 and drop a message of congratulations in the comments below to let them know the entire BFF community is cheering them on! 🎉🎓

We stand for a world where all young people can move forward with confidence and pride.
Happy Pride Month!🤝🌈

It’s an honor to serve on the ChildNet Graduation planning committee each year, alongside our dedicated partners, to recognize and celebrate the achievements of local youth.
The annual celebration honors the incredible achievements of high school, GED, college, and vocational certificate graduates who have experienced foster care.

Held at Palm Beach State College, the event brought together an amazing community to celebrate this important milestone and was beautifully emceed by former CBS 12 News anchor Liz Quirantes, whom we congratulate on her recent retirement following an incredible 35-year career in broadcasting.

The graduates were inspired by powerful messages from Lanita Holsey, Assistant Dean of Palm Beach State College, Twiler Smith, former foster parent, and ChildNet CEO Larry Rein, who shared words of encouragement and wisdom as students prepare for their next chapter.

Watching these students walk across the stage is a powerful reminder of what can happen when resilience is met with opportunity, support, and a community that believes in their success. 🎓❤️

We had an incredible time at the Men Giving Back Spring Social at The Boca Raton, and we are excited to share that we were selected as one of 12 finalists from a pool of 24 amazing semi-finalists!

All of the organizations are doing such impactful work, and we want to congratulate our fellow finalists on this exciting achievement.

We look forward to attending the Golden Grants Evening this November for a chance to receive a transformative $100,000 grant to support our students and programs. Thank you, Men Giving Back, for this incredible opportunity!

Today, we pause to honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. We are forever grateful for their courage, sacrifice, and the legacy they leave behind.
