Order FAPAC's new cd WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN, featuring Marilyn Egerton
Native Washingtonian Marilyn Egerton cannot remember a time when she wasn't singing. She sings gospel, classical, jazz, and R&B and her passion for performing has taken her all over the world.
Marilyn's other passion is taking care of young people in need, and she and her husband have fostered at least three dozen children and adopted four. With the release of the Marilyn's new jazz cd What About the Children she combines her love of music with her love of children, to benefit the Foster and Adoptive Parent Advocacy Center, where she serves as Deputy Director.
What About the Children is available for a donation of $25 to FAPAC. To learn more about the cd or to order, click here. |

| "FAPAC has provided a safe haven for me as a foster parent to go for support and good advice on many areas that come up while taking the city's children into my home. Just knowing that they are there and the mission that they have established makes me feel so much better about what I do as a foster parent." | | Donna Flenory |
