Thanks to the generosity of our many supporters, we raised over $640,000! This record breaking amount will support vital services for at-risk children and their families.
This year, we were thrilled to welcome actress, playwright, and social commentator Anna Deavere Smith as our keynote speaker. Her performance, in which she explored the issues of community, character, and diversity in America, moved us all deeply and reminded us of the importance of our work. We were also delighted to have former Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, join us as a special guest.
Check it out here. Our very own Katie Albright, Executive Director, participated in the Aspen Institute’s webinar discussing the intersection of toxic stress, health and the Adverse Childhood Experiences study (ACES). She was one of a handful of presenters on this important and engaging topic.
On Tuesday, April 7, 2015, Ascend at the Aspen Institute released Two Generations. One Future: An Anthology from the Ascend Fellowship. The Anthology builds on more than two years of collaboration and bold action by Aspen Institute Ascend Fellows, including San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center Executive Director, Katie Albright. Together, the Anthology essays paint a portfolio of insights and solutions that will inspire many to action and propel children, parents, and their families toward educational success and economic security.

“How Can I Help?”
Spread the Word. Raise Awareness.
Happy January 2015! Because of you, the children of San Francisco have begun this year on a happier note. Whether you are a donor, volunteer, community partner, or staff member, your support of the Prevention Center last year helped to increase the number of children and families we were able to reach and allowed us to continue to serve as an essential anchor institution – leading strategic partnerships, delivering high-quality services, and raising awareness to prevent abuse. THANK YOU!
