Messages From Our Leadership
Elaine Stolte, Executive Director
We are so proud of our program and we are grateful for everyone who supports the work we do. Our Foundation Board of Directors continues to raise valuable dollars to support all of the enhancement services clients receive at The CAC. In addition, we are excited to announce our Restoring Hope, Rebuilding Lives Capital Campaign. We must expand our facility so that we can better serve our community.
Child sexual abuse in Harris County is not declining and our expansion is critical so we can continue to be a leader in the child advocacy movement. The dynamics of child sexual abuse have changed dramatically over the last several years. The statistics on the increase of online child solicitation are staggering! The CAC strongly believes that training is one of the key components of prevention. Therefore, we are also making plans to expand our training facilities so we can better train first responders, teachers, guidance counselors and leaders of all programs involving children. Together, we can ensure a true community response to the prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse.
We are extremely grateful to our incredible staff, partner agencies, Commissioners Court, our board and to you, our donors. Your generous gifts have made our work possible.
Debbie C. Martinez, President The CAC Foundation
“Child Sexual Abuse affects each and every one of us. As a member of The Children’s Assessment Center Foundation Board of Directors, I continue to be shocked by its prevalence and the evolution it has taken, especially with the new dynamic of internet crimes against our children. If we desire a healthy and happy community, we must respond to child sexual abuse and give our children the childhood each and every one of them deserves. Please join us in fulfilling our mission. Our children need you.”
