Dear Board Members:

Happy New Year! Josh just reminded that I begin my third year as Executive Director this week- time really does fly when you are doing something you love.

I wanted to wait until today to give you our final fundraising number for 2017. Barring any check lost in the mail, our fundraising total for 2017 is $1,057,000. We were grateful to receive a $150,000 contribution the last week of December, and a surprise $10,000 contribution from Gov. Carney’s Inaugural Fund. This amount exceeds our anticipated budgeted amount. Many thanks to all who helped us break the one million dollar mark.

We are very grateful for the time and effort you have given to continue Beau’s legacy of child protection. We look forward to seeing you on January 25, 2018 for the first Board Meeting of 2018.

Best—

Patty

“We have seen the progress that can be made when society commits to shining a bright light on a crime like domestic violence, and we are seeing the beginning of what can be accomplished if we continue shining that bright light on child abuse. As adults, we have a legal and moral obligation to stand up and speak out for children who are being abused. These children cannot speak for themselves.” —Beau Biden
