Credico USA, a global leader in outsourced sales and customer acquisition programs, is a proud sponsor of the 11th annual Children’s Home + Aid Champions for Children Luncheon on May 24 held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Chicago.
In existence for more than 130 years, Children’s Home + Aid is a leading child and family service agency dedicated to ending violence and creating a more just and caring world for children, youth and families.
“Children’s Home + Aid knows what works so that children, families and communities can thrive,” said Children’s Home + Aid President and CEO Nancy Ronquillo. “When we strengthen families, find new ways to connect in our relationships, think of new ways to engage our families with honor and respect, then we find the pathways forward to ending neglect.”
The keynote speaker was New York Times best-selling author Andrew Bridge, whose memoir Hope’s Boy illustrates the true story of his life in the Los Angeles County foster care system while growing up without the support of a stable family. Bridge’s story highlights the disparity of children growing up in the foster care system and how organizations such as Children’s Home + Aid have a major impact in changing the lives of underprivileged children on local and national levels.
“Hearing the heartfelt stories at the Champions for Children luncheon made a lasting impression and reinforces Credico USA’s desire to continue working with Children’s Home + Aid on other impactful projects throughout Chicago,” said Jean Broaddus, chief client services officer for Credico North America.
Children’s Home + Aid’s mission is to protect, educate, and serve 40,000 children, youth and families each year and provides children across the nation with suitable homes. Credico USA is proud to call Children’s Home + Aid one of its signature charities and frequently partners with the organization to support child abuse prevention, child development and strengthening families.
