We’re bringing together the most energetic locals for an all-out, super-charged celebration of our Best of Baltimore print magazine.

 

And this year, we’re kicking it into high gear. More food. More drinks. More music. More space to light a spark on the dance floor. More of the Charm City excellence that makes living, working, playing, and growing here unlike any other place in the world.

 

This isn’t just a party. This is an experience that captures the spirit of our city like lightning in a bottle—never again to be replicated.

 

Blink, and you’ll miss it.

ABOUT THE FAMILY TREE

OPENING DOORS TO A SAFE, STABLE & NURTURING FAMILY

The Family Tree is the trusted resource for families, professionals, and communities to prevent child abuse and raise healthy thriving children through education and advocacy. We are committed to ensuring every Maryland family has the tools to raise children to become healthy, productive, and competent adults. We do this with the help of 50 professional staff, as well as 480 volunteers who donate over 11,200 hours of their time each year.

DIGGING DEEP: WHY THE FAMILY TREE EXISTS

Child abuse effects over 60,000 children a year, and it is an issue that effects families at all socioeconomic levels. Child Abuse is a major public health issue, but the good news is that it can be prevented, and we all have a role to play!

RAISING FAMILIES UP

Each year, The Family Tree provides over 21,000 individuals with research-based education and resources that empower families and provide support to professionals and communities. Our services range from a single conversation to a supportive relationship that can last a lifetime.
