My name is Alana Jones. I am the CEO of H.E.A.R.T. Centered Child and Family Therapy Inc. in Hayward, Ca. I am also the Hayward Acton Children's Business Fair Host, along with my husband Danny Jones and daughter Kira Jones, who is a 3D Printing vendor. My daughter and I had attended an Acton Children's Business Fair in another city that was far away so we wanted to bring this fair to Hayward! The aim is to host 3-4 Children's Fairs per year (Spring, Summer, Fall/Winter). We care a tremendous amount of the youth in our community and look forward to building more opportunities.

There is no cost to register for a vendor booth and no cost to join our education workshops, thanks to a generous grant from Amazon Web Services and Change X, support from Acton Children’s Business Fair, and our partners Hayward Area Recreation District and City of Hayward.
