FOLLOW US TO STAY UP-TO-DATE ON ALL THINGS CAC!

The CAC of Suffolk County supports the health and wellbeing of the children and families of Boston, Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop. Each month we'll share highlights and updates to help you better understand how you are part of the healing and justice we see every day. 

April is Child Abuse Awareness Month (CAAM) and we’re looking to partner with generous local businesses to raise money and awareness all month in any or all of the following ways:

• Choose a product & donate a portion of the April sales
• Choose a day or night and donate a portion of your proceeds
• Host a fundraising event

If you (or your favorite Suffolk County business) are interested in raising awareness and supporting children who have experienced abuse and exploitation during CAAM and beyond, contact us at events@suffolkcac.org.

Five generous and committed individuals will be taking on the challenge of running the 127th Boston Marathon in support of the CAC on Monday, April 17.

We look forward to cheering on Maryrose Anthes, Heidi Gray Berkley, Steven Flythe, Kaitlin Lounsbury, and Laura Thierrien as they raise awareness for the CAC along the 26.2 mile route from Hopkinton to Boylston Street.

Stay tuned to our socials or visit their fundraising pages (linked above) to learn more about Team Suffolk CAC and support them throughout their training and fundraising journeys.

Special Staff Projects

Did you know that children in the U.S. who identify as Black, American Indian, rural or lower income die from injury at significantly unequal rates?

As Suffolk County Child Fatality Review Team Coordinator, CAC Family Resource Specialist Gladys Sorto-Aviles facilitated our local child fatality team's efforts to identify inequities and offer recommendations to promote health and safety for all children.

We were proud to be a partner in Dr. Sadiqa Kendi’s Massachusetts Pediatric Injury Equity Review (MassPIER) project to identify solutions to this critical issue.

Staff Spotlight

Nicole Bresnahan is the CAC's first-ever Development Coordinator. Prior to coming to the CAC, Nicole worked for several years as a Victim-Witness Advocate at the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office. Familiar with our work, Nicole was excited to put her talents to use at the CAC.

Now, she is the motor that keeps the Development Team running― managing relationships with donors, volunteers, and vendors; ensuring the integrity of our donor database; and working with the community to build partnerships, raise money, and awareness.
