Honoring 85 Years of Early Childhood Education in Charlotte
“A Lasting Legacy” celebrated the impact of early education in Mecklenburg County and marked the 85th anniversary of Alliance Center for Education. Educators, leaders, partners, sponsors, donors, past participants, and friends gathered to reflect on our shared impact and the lives we continue to shape.
This milestone event honored our journey from Bethlehem Center to Alliance Center for Education, and the thousands of lives transformed along the way. Your support fuels this work. Thank you for helping us build a stronger future for children and families across Mecklenburg County.
A heartfelt thank you to our speakers—comedian Leslie Rob and Anthony Stradford, AC4Ed alumnus and Board Chair.
