A note from Drew Emerson, Honorary Chair for the Perinatal Programs 25th Anniversary Campaign!

Help us support babies and their families during our year-long birthday celebration campaign!

Since 1992, the Perinatal Program has helped thousands of children and their parents in Central Florida. The program is a cost-effective and highly successful way of building bridges to success for families with a stellar 100% success rate among program graduates.

When my wife and I had our first child, we were nervous but knew we wanted to be the best parents we could.  Thankfully, we had friends and family to call on for support.  For many parents coming into the Perinatal Program, they lack the nurturing structure and support they need to help them.  Because of the Perinatal Program, they gain confidence, a social structure, and so much more. 

Parents come together in a fun, educational environment that teaches them the basics of parenting, engages them with their babies to build strong bonds, nurtures social ties with other parents, shares ways to build traditions, and provides the tools they need to be the best parents they can be. 

You are invited to join us in changing the lives of babies and their parents!  Whether you become a Council Member, Stork Club donor, get your company or social network involved, or come rock babies once a week, YOU will make a difference!

Take a look around on this site.  Watch and hear how your support makes an impact on parents.  Under the “Ways to Celebrate” page, learn what you and your colleagues and friends can do to have fun while sharing the Perinatal Program message.  Under the “Wish List” page, you will find the most needed items and how you can help provide them.  Become a Stork Club or Council Member by making a financial commitment to support babies and parents. 

Drew Emerson is a Central Florida board member of Children’s Home Society of Florida.  Drew works with DPR Construction where he and his colleagues have been an integral part of the Perinatal Program for years.  CHSFL is proud and privileged to have Drew as this campaign’s Honorary Chair.
