Manatee County Foster and Adoptive Parent Association's mission is to provide a positive and supportive community where foster and adoptive families can connect and grow. Following the mission of Florida FAPA, we strive to support, educate and advocate for foster and adoptive families in Manatee, Sarasota and DeSoto Counties.

While our Auction is normally held in November, in honor of National Adoption Month, it was been postponed in 2024 due to the devastating hurricanes that impacted the Suncoast in the fall of 2024. We wanted time to allow our supporters and donor businesses time to recover, but we are excited to now bring you this great opportunity to place your bids and help us to support local foster and adoptive families.

Every dollar raised through the Auction will allow us to provide support for local Foster & Adoptive families through our current programs, as well as our upcoming Adoptive Families Kids Night Out, in Partnership with Family Initiative.
