Income from this fund supports the local child advocacy center whose mission is to create a safe community for children and families by preventing and responding to child abuse through teamwork, collaboration and service. While the endowment was created by Dan and Cynthia Bickey, the donors were anxious for others to understand the basic principal governing community foundations . . . anyone may make additional donations in any amount to an existing fund. This fund opens the door so everyone interested in addressing the abuse problem can pool their resources and build an endowment that will generate significant dollars year after year.
