Turn Year-End Funds into a Lasting Investment

Turn Year-End Funds into a Lasting Investment: 2026 Prevention Convention

Dear Colleagues,

As the fiscal year comes to a close, many organizations are thoughtfully planning how to invest any remaining funds in ways that will have a lasting impact. We invite you to consider an investment that strengthens your staff, your mission, and the future of prevention across Florida.

The 2026 Prevention Convention, hosted by the Ounce of Prevention Fund and Prevent Child Abuse Florida, brings together prevention-focused, early childhood, and family-serving professionals from across the state to learn, connect, and advance a shared vision: keeping children safe, strengthening families, and building resilient communities.

By registering your staff or becoming a convention sponsor, you will:

• Invest in high-quality professional development grounded in prevention science and best practices

• Support staff growth, retention, and morale through meaningful learning and networking

• Demonstrate your organization’s commitment to prevention as a child welfare and early childhood priority

• Amplify your organization’s visibility and leadership within Florida’s prevention community
  

Sponsorship opportunities are available at multiple levels and offer a cost-effective way to support statewide prevention efforts while maximizing your year-end budget dollars. Registration and sponsorship can often be completed using current fiscal-year funds, making now an ideal time to plan ahead.

We would be happy to talk with you about options that align with your goals, budget, and impact priorities. Email Jeanette at jmay@ounce.org today to get the conversation started!

Thank you for the vital work you do every day to support children and families. We hope you’ll join us in making the 2026 Prevention Convention a powerful investment in people, prevention, and Florida’s future.

Warm regards,

Chesley Richardson

Executive Director

Prevent Child Abuse Florida
