Steven Tyler's Janie's Fund third annual GRAMMY Awards® Viewing Party was a night to remember! From the red carpet to dinner to the electrifying after-party performance by Gavin Degraw more than 500 passionate people joined together and helped raise more than $2.4 million for our important cause!
We are so proud of our girls who rocked the house with samples of therapeutic drumming and our very own Jennifer Rhodes, who was last night’s featured speaker. Thank you to Terry Crews for being an amazing host, and of course, to Steven Tyler for making everything possible and giving a platform for girls and young women to amplify their voices! #jamforjanie

This weekend, we’re heading to L.A. with some of our girls for @iamstevent’s third annual private dinner and viewing of the GRAMMY Awards benefiting @janiesfund. Follow us on Instagram @youthvillages, and check out our stories this weekend for inside look including, rehearsals, activities and scenes from the red carpet!
Strengthening families and giving young people the support they need to move away from gang activity can make a difference in our communities. Special thanks to The Commercial Appeal columnist Tonyaa Weathersbee for highlighting this issue and interviewing Youth Villages foster parent Yolanda Tate and clinical consultant Katie Puckett in her story today.

Weathersbee: Can federal money end Memphis' gang violence? Not if G-A-N-G spells F-A-M-I-L-Y
commercialappeal.com
Memphis will get $10 million to fight violent crime. Much of that crime is caused by gangs, and youths raised in gang families struggling to get out.
In an effort to promote positive parenting and prevent adverse childhood experiences consider making use of Advancing Parenting’s fifty-four parenting norms bumper stickers. Parenting messages on vehicles will be read thousands of times by thousands of people of all ages for years to come...a unique and powerful way to get quality parenting information out to the community. Sets of the stickers can be put in holders and placed on counters and tables in doctors’ offices, agencies, schools, and businesses so patients, parents, customers, and clients can choose one or more for their cars. They can also be made available to attendees at events and meetings. The best strategy is to have them laid out on three tables... and it does take three tables! Tell the attendees that they may choose one or two for their car(s). Handing them out doesn't work as well. Some folks don't put stickers on their cars and everyone who wants one will appreciate the opportunity to make their own choice. Visit advancingparenting.org for more information. 🙂
The countdown has begun!
We are so excited for this year's GRAMMY viewing party benefitting Steven Tyler's Janie's Fund. You can get an exclusive look at the festivities this weekend by following our Instagram page and viewing our stories (@youthvillages).
