A Place To Call Home

This year’s annual A Place to Call Home events in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Greensboro will provide an intimate setting for change-making storytellers from across the state to share their lived experiences that have forever enriched their lives.

April 11, April 18, and April 25, 2024

Event Details

A Place to Call Home is Children’s Home Society’s signature fundraising event. Join us as we gather together to hear storytellers from around North Carolina who will share stories of family and inspiring lessons learned that can impact families and our community around us.

While there is no cost to attend the event, guests will have an opportunity make a charitable gift to support children and their permanent, safe, and loving families.

What to Expect

Each springtime, we host A Place to Call Home events across the state to celebrate family and recognize that a strong, loving family is the foundation for a child’s success. Watch last year’s event below.

This Year’s Speakers

Titianna Goings

Titi works for CHS in our SYNC program, educating youth who are in foster care and professionals on making smart, healthy decisions. Titi is a SaySo alumna, who aged out of foster care and became the parent of her baby brother through kinship adoption soon after. Titi has also welcomed a beautiful son in the past few years. She has thought a lot about how she can be and is a good parent even when she didn’t have a role model to follow. Her personal and professional experience is deep and speaks to the support of young people in foster care. Titi will be speaking at all three of the events.

Bob Long

Bob, a CHS adoptee and Presenting Sponsor StepStone Private Wealth CEO, will share why family is the most important investment you can make. Bob will be speaking at all three of the events.

Kayla Moffitt

Kayla and her husband, Jerad, recently moved to Charlotte from their small town in Arkansas. As a transracial adoptive family, their move was greatly driven by a wish to find a diverse community in which they will raise their children. The Moffitts adopted their five children, all siblings ages 6 to 17, out of foster care where they had been separated the majority of their time. It means everything to the Moffitts for their children to grow up together. Kayla will be speaking at our Greensboro and Charlotte events.

Anita Wells

Anita was adopted through CHS as an infant, and in fact, she was named in honor of her social worker, Anita Wood. Anita and her brother, who was adopted as a toddler also through CHS, were blessed with a very loving family.When she was 34, her biological mother contacted her. Anita’s feelings ran the gamut from annoyance to empathy, which allowed the slow growth of their relationship. Anita is so grateful for the family that she has always known and for the relationship she has been able to grow into with her biological mother, sister, and others in their family. Anita will be speaking at our Raleigh event.
