According to the 2000 Census, more than 15,000 households in KC are grandfamilies (grandparents raising grandchildren). Missouri Care wants to celebrate these caregivers and provide support to them by launching "Grandmother & Grandfather Of The Year Award". The event will honor award recipients as well as provide workshops, information on health screenings, tech 101 (monitoring kids with mobile phones, social media, tutoring, extracurricular activities assistance, etc.).
