Pinwheels for Prevention

A big thanks to Community Pediatrics for selling Pinwheels for Prevention during April - Child Abuse Awareness Month. They raise over $100 for our services. We appreciate your commitment to the children in our community! Shown with me in the photo are many of their staff, as well as our Children's Advocate, Jenny Kolb.

Thanks Kiwanis!

The Beaver Dam Noon Kiwanis Club continues to sponsor PAVE's Family Night activities - where we get non-offending parents and kids together for fun, bonding activities. We have had bowling nights, family dinners, picnics, kickball and park games and other events. Without the support of the Kiwanis group, we would not be able offer this wonderful service! Thank you!

Thank you Calli Gilbride

A big THANK YOU to Calli Gilbride for raising $800 for PAVE. She ran the Boston Marathon and donated all of her proceeds to our program. Tough to decide which is more impressive - her marathon run or her kind donation. Thanks Calli for thinking of us!

Thank You Beaver Dam Hosptial Leaders

I had the opportunity to speak to the Beaver Dam Hospital Leadership Development Institute group a few weeks ago about victimization.

We did some great activities and discussed how we can work collaboratively as a community for victims. One amazing step Beaver Dam Community Hospital is making is opening a SANE program available to victims 24/7, this June 1st! We are so proud of their efforts and the years of work they put into making this a reality in Dodge County.

Afterward, these leaders made a $800 donation to PAVE! Thank you so much for your generosity. Shown with a fun "giant check" and me are Mike Murphy, RN, Chief Patient Care Officer and Donna Hutchinson, FHFMA, FACHE, CFO.
