The Cabarrus County Partnership for Children is seeking qualified organizations with expertise in early childhood to support our local community with evidence-based or evidence-informed services for children birth to five and their families.

The Anne Laukaitis Champion for Children Award is in honor of Anne's distinguished Smart Start leadership and her long career dedicated to the service of young children and families in Cabarrus County. This award is given annually to an exceptional individual at the local level who is devoted to public service and whose leadership qualities have resulted in significant change for the betterment of young children, families, and communities.

Cabarrus County Partnership for Children was awarded $2,000,000 as a directed grant from the ARPA Temporary Savings Fund in the 2023 Appropriations Act S.L. 2023-134. The Cabarrus County Partnership for Children Board of Directors decided to use these new funds to provide additional programs in Cabarrus County for our youngest children and families.
