Welcome, Jon Fazzola, our new TBCAC Board Chair! 🎉

John has been a valued member of the TBCAC Board since October 2024 and has been a tremendous supporter of our mission and the children and families we serve throughout our community.

Jon brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his new role as Board Chair, including a career as an attorney representing families who have experienced the unimaginable. His professional experience, compassion, and commitment to our community make him a wonderful addition to this leadership role.

We are grateful for the time, heart, and expertise Jon brings to TBCAC, and we’re excited for all that’s ahead!

Please join us in welcoming Jon as our new Board Chair! 👏💚

A heartfelt thank you to all of the sponsors who made this year’s Circle of Friends possible! Your generosity, partnership, and commitment to children and families make our work possible. We are so grateful to have you alongside us.🤝

We also want to extend a special thank you and sincere apology to TBA Credit Union, whose name was mistakenly announced as another credit union during our sponsor recognition. We missed an important opportunity to recognize your generosity from the stage, and we are sorry.

To every sponsor who invests in safer childhoods and stronger communities: thank you for showing up, standing with us, and making this work possible. We couldn't do it without you.💚

As we make our last-minute check-overs for tonight’s Circle of Friends, we want to send a huge thank you to a few key people who truly help make this event the impactful evening that it is. 💚

🎤 Our Emcee: Scott Perry of Two Bays Productions, who has helped guide us through this event for the last several years.

📸 Our Photographer: Rick Stringer of Rick Stringer Photography, who has captured the heart of this event for the past few years.

✨ And a special thank you to our keynote speaker this year, Julie Ann Rivers-Cochran of Blackbird Consulting. We’re so grateful to have you sharing your voice and perspective with our community tonight.

Circle of Friends is about bringing caring humans together in one space—not only to celebrate what has already been done to protect kids, but to challenge ourselves to do even more.

Together, we can help ensure every child has a safe space for justice, hope, and healing. 💚

To everyone joining us tonight: THANK YOU. Your presence matters, and your support makes an impact far beyond this evening.

Can’t make it tonight but still want to be part of the impact? You can make a donation through our website: traversebaycac.org

At TBCAC, we love creating collaborations that support our clients—and we also love shining a spotlight on the local businesses that choose to do more for the people who live here. 💚

When local businesses support local nonprofits, our entire community benefits. We’re grateful for the businesses that continue to show up, give back, and make an impact right here at home.

We’re lucky to have had you as a leader, and even luckier to continue having you in our corner. Thank you, Wilson, for all you’ve done and continue to do for our community! 👏🏼
