Boys and Girls Homes and Carolyn's Kaleidoscope Child Advocacy Center certainly rocked Vineland Station Depot May 1, 2026 for our third Kaleidoscope of Hope Soirée. With about 170 people supporting the event by attending, buying tables or sponsorships, Rep. Brenden Jones giving a rousing endorsement of the center’s impact in fighting for and finding justice for sexually and physically abused children, the event was a success. Auctioneer Mr. Floyd brought the fun and comedy with his rousing live auction, joking with bidders, CAC Director Danielle Nolan reminded us that the worry stones in our gift bags were all different like the children the CAC serves. Best of all, during our live auction, Nina Porch Goose has a great new home and Carl Porch Goose will be the new mascot of our CAC!. Thank you to everyone who came and gave to benefit the children served by Carolyn’s Kaleidoscope.

Here are photos from the event.
