On April 22, 2016, Providence House celebrated its 35th Birthday at the “Launch to 40 Luncheon,” presented by the Catanzarite Foundation at the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel. The event outlined the organization’s accomplishments, shared “a day in the life” of a child served by Providence House, and launched plans for the agency’s vision and growth over the next five years. Hundreds of guests gathered to show their support for child abuse prevention, and to honor the selfless volunteers, community leaders, and corporate partners who make the work of Providence House possible. This year we celebrated the service of Daisy Lopez, our very first childcare staff member, who retired after providing 31 years of care to the babies and children of Providence House. We also recognized the partnerships and dedication of three “Every Child” honorees, including Joe Cimperman, Forest City Enterprises, and Saint Joseph Academy. The “Launch to 40 Luncheon” raised over $113,700 to support the our mission of ending child abuse and neglect by protecting at-risk children, empowering families in crisis, and building safer communities for every child. We are so grateful for and humbled by the continued generosity of our partners and supporters!
