Trying Together recognizes April as Month of the Young Child as a way to uplift the incredible work of early childhood educators. In 2025, nearly 800 educators and supports came together at the Annual Celebration of Early Childhood Educators Dinner. 

This year, Trying Together is excited to unveil Celebrating Together - a reimagined event that will include a new VIP reception to present the inaugural Governor Josh Shapiro Keystone Award for Early Childhood Advocacy, followed by the 30th Annual Celebration of Early Childhood Educators Dinner. The VIP reception will include heavy hors d’oeuvres, signature cocktails/mocktails, and networking opportunities. The dinner will include food stations, music, register-to-win opportunities, photo booths, and other activities.
