On May 7, 2008 hundreds of grandparents and other relatives raising children gathered at the U.S. Capitol to highlight their important role in raising children and the help they need from family, friends, their communities, states, national organizations and agencies and elected officials.

The GrandRally is an historic gathering of grandparents and other relative caregivers from across the country that brings attention to the needs of children and kinship care families. The GrandRally is an important opportunity to educate Members of Congress and their staff about the supports and services kinship families need. The GrandRally also offers caregivers, advocates and Members of Congress the chance to recognize and celebrate the essential role that grandparents and other relative caregivers play in keeping children safe and in stable families.
