70 Years of Hope, Healing & Inspiration:
CGRC Celebrates a Legacy of Changing Lives
On September 10, 2026, an extraordinary evening of hope, healing, and inspiration brought together friends, supporters, community leaders, clinicians, clients, and advocates to celebrate a remarkable milestone: 70 years of Child Guidance Resource Centers.
Set against the elegant backdrop of The Ivy at Ellis Preserve, the celebration honored seven decades of compassionate care and the thousands of children, families and adults whose lives have been strengthened by CGRC.
The evening was more than a celebration of an anniversary; it was a celebration of impact.

70 Years of Healing. One Powerful Night of Hope.
For seven decades, Child Guidance Resource Centers has strengthened lives across Delaware, Chester, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties, meeting people where they are—at home, in schools, and in the community—so healing can begin.
Inspiring Healing & Hope commemorates CGRC’s 70-year legacy while raising critical awareness and support at a pivotal moment. As the demand for mental health services continues to rise and resources grow tighter, this celebration ensures care remains accessible, timely, and stigma‑free.
All proceeds directly support programs that expand access to mental and behavioral health services, provide early intervention for children and families, and sustain the skilled clinicians who make healing possible .
