Champions for Children honors individuals, teams, organizations, and businesses in Pierce County recognized for their extraordinary ability to make children and families feel encouraged, uplifted, and supported. Awardees are nominated by the community, and winners are chosen by a group of community volunteers. 

Join us on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, from 5:00–6:30 PM at Historic 1625 Tacoma Place as we honor our 2025 Champions for Children.

🎟 Bring Diapers, Win Prizes! 🎟

Guests are encouraged to bring packs of diapers to the event—any size, any brand. For every pack you donate, you’ll receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win exciting prizes and unique experiences throughout the evening.

All diapers collected will go to the PCECN Diaper Bank Network, helping families across the county. They’ll be used during Double Diaper December, providing families with a six-day supply of free diapers and wipes—double the usual amount—to ease financial strain and ensure more babies have the essentials they need during the holiday season.
