CLOSED FOR JUNETEENTH 🖤❤️💚

In observance of Juneteenth, SFCC will be closed on Friday, June 19, 2026.

Juneteenth commemorates the ending of slavery in the United States. It is a day of remembrance, reflection, and continued commitment to justice, equity, and freedom.

We encourage our families, staff, and community to honor this important day in meaningful ways -- through education, celebration, and action.

🎉 One Year of Growth. One Year of Impact. 🎉

This month, we're celebrating the first anniversary of St. Francis Children's Center's Pediatric Outpatient Therapy Clinic!

What began as a vision to expand access to high-quality, inclusive therapy services has grown into a thriving program serving children and families throughout Greater Milwaukee.

In just one year, our therapy team has:
✨ Completed 134 evaluations
✨ Provided more than 2,300 therapy sessions
✨ Supported 113 unique children
✨ Expanded access to occupational, physical, speech, feeding, and aquatic therapy services

Most importantly, we've helped children gain confidence, achieve milestones, and reach their fullest potential.

Thank you to the families, staff, community partners, and supporters who have helped make this incredible first year possible. 💙

📖 Read our June Therapy Blog and join us in celebrating this milestone.

🌼💛 Today is the final day of Garden of Daisies! 💛🌼

There are only a few hours left to help children and families bloom at St. Francis Children's Center.

Over the past two weeks, our community has filled the garden with daisy pinwheels representing hope, opportunity, and belonging for children of all abilities. But before the garden closes, there's still time to add one more daisy.

Thanks to the generosity of a former SFCC family, the first $10,000 raised is being matched, which means your gift today will have DOUBLE the impact.

🌼 Every gift matters.
🌼 Every daisy counts.
🌼 Every child deserves the opportunity to bloom.

Will you help us add one more daisy before the garden closes?

💛 Donate now: sfcckids.org/donate

🌼💛 Our Garden of Daisies continues to bloom thanks to the generosity of our community.
