The Golden Grandmothers Luncheon & Wellness Fair honors and celebrates grandmothers who have taken on the responsibility of being full-time parents for their grandchildren. The honored grandmothers come from across Silicon Valley and represent a diverse and remarkable group of women.

Planning for the next Golden Grandmothers Luncheon, to be held in May of 2012, is currently underway.

 

In Santa Clara County, the vast majority of children in out-of-home placement are being raise by grandmothers. These unsung heroes play an important role not only in the lives of their grandchildren but also in our community. They provide a familial alternative to foster care, helping keep brothers and sisters together and families intact. Since 2005, we have honored more than 500 grandmothers. This luncheon is held to thank and honor these community heroes.
