The Campbell Family 2024

What a way to kick off the 2024 Banana Ball World Tour in Tampa Bay, Florida! Bananas Foster celebrated The Campbell Family.

The Campbell Family first opened their home to foster care in December of 2009. Over the past 14 years, they have provided a temporary, safe, and loving home to 49 children and teens. This family also offered support to other foster families through respite care and housed many more children. In 14 years, they have finalized 4 adoptions in their family and continue to foster. 

In May of 2022, while still fostering and with 10 children in their home, Karen was able to graduate with her bachelor’s degree. She began her career as a licensing specialist in Hillsborough County helping families become licensed foster families. 

Today, Ron and Kare are parenting 8 children between the ages 2 to 21.
