EMAIL DETAILS

Attached please find the weekly update I provide to the Biden Foundation ED Louisa Terrell. Two issues I want to highlight for you. First, that we trained 17 new professionals to serve as facilitators of the Stewards of Children Training. In February we will train nearly 1000 professionals in the program and we needed some committed experienced professionals able to assist.

But the biggest news from the week is definitely our meeting with Special Olympics. The meeting was extraordinary- the COS we met with said , "I listen to what is happening in USA gymnastics, and think if this happens to us, it could destroy everything in this organization.” Special Olympics is the perfect program with the perfect group of children and adults that need to be protected, and this is the perfect time. Please cross your collective fingers, or as my Mom would say, pull out your best rosary beads, and pray that we close this deal on a partnership. The number of children and vulnerable young adults is staggering- 4,931,754- nearly 5 million athletes; 1.15 million volunteers; 223 national and state program in 172 countries. The Beau Biden Foundation would immediately be the national organization we all want this to be. Special Olympics is untainted by scandal and this would be a truly remarkable partner to highlight the Shield of Protection Initiative.

I also think it makes the conversation with Darkness to Light urgently important. And a very compelling position more compelling.

Many thanks for your support!

GO EAGLES !!!

“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

> Wow- what a week.
>
> We trained 43 folks in Stewards of Children- including 37 police officers. We held our first BBF led training for facilitators- we trained 18 new facilitators including 6 police officers and 4 school counselors/family crisis therapists. It was a grueling day for Claudine especially, and she did a wonderful job.
> We trained 183 children to be safe online and participated in the Read aloud on bullying with the 87ers players and spoke to another 240 children over 2 schools in the read aloud.
>
> Most exciting meeting was the time we spent in Washington, DC on Thursday meeting with Shawn Ferguson, Chief of Staff to Tim Shriver at Special Olympics. The meeting went exceptionally well; we will return in the next few weeks to meet with the CEO, Chief Legal Officer and Mr. Shriver. Both Josh and I cannot imagine, based upon the reactions from both Mr. Ferguson and the few minutes we met with the Chief Legal Officer, Angela Ciccolo, that Special Olympics does not become a partner with the Beau Biden Foundation. They have 4.9 million athletes, 1.15 million volunteers and are active with 223 national and state partners, in 172 countries. Suffice it say this partnership would be epic for BBF. Epic.

>> Good morning all!!
>>
>> The Beau Biden Foundation night at the Delaware 87ers game was a wonderful success. It was, for the first time this season a nearly sell out crowd of 2600. The VP and many members of the Biden family enjoyed a great night of basketball; the VP did a wonderful presentation at half-time (special permission from the NBA was required to allow this). We made nearly 60 child id kits at the 2 games this week where kits were made, including on BBF night.
>>
>> Our trainings for school children continue at a rapid pace- this week Claudine trained 326 children in Grades 3-5 at 2 different schools.
>>
>> We are very busty getting ready for the train the trainer in the Stewards of Children course next week, at this point we have 15 people signed up to be trained. We have been very impressed with the quality of folks we have interviewed to become trainers for the BBF, I am sure this group will yield several more volunteers like Dr. Diana Terrell, committed professionals willing to devote their time to this important task.
>>
>> We have finalized the trainings for the entire Wilmington police department which will occur on campus here in April and May. We will train them in Stewards of Children and in Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect. Wilmington Police will give us another 350 people trained in Stewards of Children, and no doubt a fair number of professionals wanting to volunteer. As of this date we have commitments from 4 police agencies to be fully trained.
>>
>> We also had another school district commit to Stewards training this week- Appoquinimick School District, which has 1350 employees. So, at this point we have commitments to train nearly 4000 school personnel and 1000 law enforcement this year.
>>
>> On a joint Biden Foundation/BBF issue- community colleges- the President of DTCC, Dr. Mark Brainard and I had a great conversation about his plans for more widespread child protection training- we have trained about 80 people at DTCC in the past year- but he agrees widespread training is necessary and appropriate. Dr Brainard (who is a former student of mine!) asked for BBF to train 15-20 of his folks to be trainers in Stewards of Children in order to accelerate their training implementation plan.
>>
>> Without being overly optimistic, I believe this may be the year we push Delaware over the top; Delaware will be the first state in the nation that has achieved tipping point of training 5% of the population in child abuse prevention training. There will be a parade and a Sweeneys bakery cake if we do that!
>>
>> Our Shield of Protection Initiative is moving along; we have another school we start today- which I mentioned earlier, brings us into Pennsylvania. The importance of Shield of Protection was demonstrated in horrific detail this week with the sentencing of child predator Larry Nassar. We believe that it is likely that the Shield of Protection will be the primary program that will allow BBF to become a national organization.
>>
>> We had our first 2018 Board meeting yesterday, which was well attended and enthusiastic about BBF growth.
>>
>> Our finances for the week:
>> BBF 5k $5,000.00
>> Grassroots $900.85
>> Large Gifts $1,000.00
>> Program Underwriting $450.00
>> Total Revenue $7,350.85

>>> Good Morning!
>>> On Monday I met with Colonial School District and they have agreed to have the District fully trained in Stewards of Children. The District will train about 1200 teachers, Para professionals and other staff.
>>> Monday evening we attended the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce Annual dinner honoring VP and Dr. Biden with the Josiah Marvel cup. We had the opportunity to meet with many business leaders in Delaware, and BBF was the recipient of nearly $35,000 in contributions. A great way to start the week.
>>> On Weds BBF co hosted with the US Attorneys office a conference on human trafficking and I spoke to 300 attendees on the link between child sexual abuse and human trafficking.
