We were honored to meet with Senator Vogel and discuss the critical work being done by Children's Advocacy Centers across Pennsylvania.

Your continued support of the Children's Advocacy Center of Butler County and your commitment to protecting children is truly appreciated.

Today, I had the opportunity to meet with Danielle Schmidt (right side in photo), Executive Director of the Children’s Advocacy Center of Butler County, and Mikele Bay, Executive Director of the Children’s Advocacy Center of McKean County, as part of Children’s Advocacy Center Hill Day.

We discussed the important work Children’s Advocacy Centers do to support children and families affected by abuse by bringing together law enforcement, child welfare professionals, medical providers, mental health experts, and victim advocates in a coordinated, child-focused approach.

Thank you to Danielle and Mikele for taking the time to share more about the services they provide and the impact their organizations have on children and families across Pennsylvania. I appreciate their dedication to helping young people and supporting families during difficult times.

Looking forward to this opportunity!

Children's Advocacy Centers of Pennsylvania and CAC leaders from across the Commonwealth are heading to the Capitol on Tuesday, June 2, to advocate for H.B. 2443, legislation that would begin closing the $14.5 million funding gap CACs face statewide.

CACs currently operate with an average $300,000 annual shortfall per center, even as they provide essential investigative coordination and trauma‑informed support to children from the moment child abuse is suspected.

H.B. 2443, introduced by Rep. Kyle Mullins and PA State Rep. Jim Rigby, would create a Child Victim Recovery Fund supported by fees paid by child sexual abuse offenders — not taxpayers. It is projected to generate $3–4 million annually.

📅 Join us at 2pm in the East Wing Rotunda for a press conference where CAC leaders and their multidisciplinary partners will highlight the life-changing work they do and the need for additional stable, sustainable funding.

🌱🤝 After the successful launch of our Volunteer Portal in partnership with the Alliance for Nonprofit Resources, the Butler County Chamber of Commerce Community Service Committee has shifted its focus toward amplifying and supporting existing community events across Butler County each month.

In April, committee members volunteered at the Strike Out Child Abuse Bowling Event hosted by the Children’s Advocacy Center of Butler County, helping with event setup and support efforts. In May, we partnered with the Butler AM Rotary Club for their annual community flower planting event. 🌸🌼

We are incredibly proud of the volunteers who continue to step up and serve our community, and grateful to our members who always answer the bell when there is a need. 💪❤️

Looking to get more involved in Butler County and make a difference? Reach out to learn more about our Community Service Committee and how you can join the effort! 🙌

🍷⛳ Our Wine Toss is making a comeback at this year’s golf outing… and we need your help to make it bigger and better than ever!

We’re currently accepting donations of wine and liquor bottles for one of the most popular games at the outing! Whether it’s a favorite bottle of red, a fun summer drink, or a top-shelf surprise, every donation helps support the important work of the Children's Advocacy Center of Butler County.

Last year’s Wine Toss was a huge hit (just look at that table), and we’d love to fill it up again for this year’s golfers and supporters!

Donations can be dropped off at the CAC during normal business hours or we can make arrangements for someone to pick them up

Help Us Keep Our Space Safe & Welcoming

We’re looking for someone to help with lawn care at the Children’s Advocacy Center of Butler County!

The CAC is a place where children come during some of the hardest moments of their lives , and having a clean, cared-for outdoor space helps create a sense of comfort from the moment they arrive.

We would love to partner with someone willing to donate their services (or offer a reduced rate) to help us maintain our grounds.

* Mowing
* Basic upkeep
* A little extra care goes a long way

Every bit of support helps us focus our resources where they matter most.
