A milestone 25th Anniversary is one to truly celebrate, especially when it means that since the creation of the Kids-TALK program in 2001 thousands upon thousands of children in Wayne County have been surrounded by the support they need to heal from their trauma. Our spectacular 25th Anniversary Kids-TALK Gala (formerly the Grape Expectations for Kids Dinner) at the crown jewel of Detroit—the newly and superbly restored Michigan Central–raises funds to help The Guidance Center protect children who have suffered abuse, neglect and trauma and work to expand this life-saving program in the City of Detroit and beyond.

For 25 years Kids-TALK has made a huge difference in the lives of children and families in Wayne County. Supporting and attending this spectacular Gala, presented by PNC Bank and the Catalli Family Charitable Trust, both helps thousands of children each year and invests in the future of our community!
Featuring emcee Rhonda Walker of WDIV Local 4, Growing Strong Futures for Children Award Recipient Ballmer Group, and live music by the Bluewater Kings Band.
