Benton Franklin Fair & Rodeo’s Parade on Saturday, August 22, 2026 was a blast! We were so happy to be represented alongside fellow nonprofits in our community. 

The Children’s Developmental Center has been selected as a recipient of the 2026 Light the World Giving Machine Initiative! Every Christmas season, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints invites people everywhere to light the world through small acts of service.

Through customized vending machines and digital kiosks, people can donate needed items to individuals and families in their community and around the world. The Giving Machine supporting the Children’s Developmental Center along with other local nonprofits will be at Fairchild Cinemas – Queensgate from November 20 to December 10. This is just the beginning of an extra special 2026-2027 & 50th Anniversary for our Center!
