We’d love to thank Imagination Dollhouses for Children for our Child Advocacy Center’s new custom-made dollhouse. Imagination Dollhouses for Children is a nonprofit founded in 2008 by Josef Soper who donates his time and energy to build beautiful dollhouses for child advocacy centers around the country.
Huge thanks to Microsoft in Huntington for hosting a gaming event for youth in our Alternatives for Youth and Chance to Advance programs (and their C2A mentors)! Everyone had a great time!
“My name is Thomas T. Mentoring to me is all about making a difference. When I was growing up in the 60s, the youngest of three, my brother was in Vietnam most of that time, and I really didn’t have anyone to look up to at home. I was bullied at school and wasn’t good at sports. I remember that feeling of feeling alone. This is why I believe in mentoring kids. I retired in 2013, and my kids are grown. I decided I wanted to mentor…”
For most, childhood is a time of learning and play, growing confident with the love and encouragement of family. It is a precious time to live free from fear, safe from violence, and protected from abuse and exploitation. However, for abused children, their childhood experience is nothing short of terrifying….
Danna R. donated several “sweet cases” on behalf of the Pride in Athletics (PAL) Sound Tigers 12 U-AA team. The team, including her son Brandon, prepared the sweet cases for the children being served at our Child Advocacy Center. Thank you!
Once again our Safe Start program hosted a series of car seat events at GEICO head quarters to show parents and guardians how to properly install car seats. And once again, GEICO generously supported the program with an incredible $20,000. Thank you GEICO!
We are SO grateful to have received Brookepacks from the Brooke Jackman Foundation once again! Every year, hundreds of children in our programs receive brand new backpacks filled with school supplies and books so they can be ready and confident on the first day of school! Thank you, Brooke Jackman Foundation!
EAC Network’s best-interest child advocacy took another step forward recently when Suffolk Family Court Judge Chris Ann Kelley administered the oath of service to new Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers who successfully completed a rigorous 30-hour training program. This more than doubles the Suffolk program size!
Staff at Clear Vision Optical participated in the Suffolk County Child Advocacy Center’s (CAC) month-long Pinwheels for Prevention campaign by decorating pinwheels to bring awareness to Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Young ladies in our Alternatives for Youth (AFY) and Chance to Advance programs recently enjoyed a makeup workshop courtesy of donations of makeup packages by Bare Minerals, lip gloss by J Paige Beauty, and nails by Kiss Nails!
