A wounded life can be made whole again. Dear Bivona Friends,

In 2013, Bivona Child Advocacy Center took a turn toward the future like never before.

Our $4.5 million Building Hope Campaign received a tremendous $500,000 lead gift from The Joseph and Irene Skalny Charitable Trust and by year’s end, we hit $3.5 million! A gift of this magnitude from the Skalny family inspires so many others to follow suit, and lends huge credibility to our agency, our mission and our need for relocating. By 2014, we will officially complete our Building Hope Campaign. One Mount Hope Avenue will put a permanent footprint in Monroe County as THE resource for children and families affected by the horrors of sexual and physical abuse.

When we opened our doors in 2004, we thought we’d evaluate 250 children in our first year. We evaluated 525. This year, we evaluated more than 1,600. That’s 30 new children every week. In the past decade, we’ve not only tripled the number of children evaluated, we’ve tripled our partnerships, our staff, our operating budget, and went through three facility modifications to manage the growth and need. Bivona Child Advocacy Center at The Skalny Building will allow us to meet the growing needs of this community, and to deliver excellence in child abuse response, healing and prevention.

A larger facility also means more space for our current partners and additional partnerships to expand programs and services. On day one at The Skalny Building, we will grow from 31 co-located partners to nearly 50; from 8,700 to 30,000 square feet; from one medical exam room to two; from three child-friendly interview rooms to four; from one play therapy room to two. The waiting room will double in size. We will have our own training facility, and a wellness center to care for our team members who are exposed daily to heartbreaking trauma.

Whether you have given Bivona your time, your talent, your treasure, or all three, we would not . Your loyal support of this agency and our Building Hope be where we are today without YOU Campaign confirms your dedication to our shared vision: a community where all children are safe and free from abuse.

Thank you for supporting Bivona Child Advocacy Center and the thousands of children and families we help heal, every single day. These kids deserve the best possible care. With your help, we will continue to raise, and meet, that bar.
