The 24th Annual A Home for the Holidays, is an entertainment special celebrating the joys of adoption. The special will air on Friday, December 23nd at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. Each year, the Dave Thomas Foundation works with CBS to offer a heartwarming, hour-long television show spotlighting waiting older children. This televised event features performances from popular musical artists, while celebrating families whose lives have been changed through adoption. This year the event will include performances by Gloria Estefan, Little Big Town, David Foster & Kat McPhee, and Andy Grammer. A Home for the Holidays features uplifting stories of adoption from foster care and raises awareness of this important social issue.

The Dave Thomas Foundation is the brainchild of the well-known adoptee, Dave Thomas, founder of the popular food enterprise, Wendy’s.  Through this organization’s dedication to the well-being and adoption of foster children, thousands of families have obtained information on adoption, especially older child adoptions.
