Hi folks, 

Two quick things. 

First, I’d like to invite all of you to join us for the Philadelphia Flyers game on Saturday, April 8. This will be the first ever Child Abuse Prevention Day the Flyers have hosted. There will be a brief ceremony during one of the 90 second TV time outs where the Flyers will present the Biden family with a Flyers Jersey with BEAU FOUNDATION on the back. They’ll also show a 45 second video about the BBF. The game is at 12:30, but prior to the game, we’ll be having a special brunch in the owners dining room at 11 am for our board, supporters and friends. This is a chance for us to thank some of our donors and do some prospecting as well. 

If you’re interested in attending, let me know by 12 pm Tuesday, April 4.

Second, the Week in Review is below. 
1. On Saturday, March 25, the VP attended the Delaware 87ers Beau Biden Foundation Night game. We made over 50 child ID kits for families. The Philadelphia 76ers pledged $20,000 to the Beau Foundation at the event, which is in addition to what we raised from ticket sales and the jersey auction.

2. Patty spent the week at the 14th International Hawai`i Summit on Preventing, Assessing & Treating Trauma Across the Lifespan. Her presentation, Prevention of Child Abuse: A Community Response, was a hit. She touched on a) ways to build awareness in communities about the emotional and economic impact of child sexual abuse, b)  strategies for building a successful community-based prevention initiative including a discussion around evidence-based training programs (Stewards of Children) and how to further engage the community, and c) methods for fostering a network of socially responsible leaders and partners who can implement best practices, tools, and policies to help reduce the incidence of child sexual abuse.

While in HI, Patty met with representatives from the Armed Forces YMCA to discuss Stewards of Children.

3. On Wednesday, March 29, the Philadelphia regional chapter of the Anti-Defamation League held their first annual Beau Biden SHIELD Award ceremony. The VP attended and made remarks. This was not a BBF event, but I thought it worthy of including here.

4. Everything is just about finalized for the 3rd BBF Golf and Tennis Invitational on Sept 25. Yes, we added tennis this year!

March 31 “$7 is all it takes”

The heroin epidemic that’s gripping many areas of the country right now is taking its toll on Delaware’s families. 

Parents who are battling addiction often fail to properly feed, bathe or clothe their children. These children often live in unstable and unsafe environments with little supervision. Furthermore, drug addiction is common among people that have suffered child abuse, which only perpetuates this vicious cycle. 

As we draw closer to Child Abuse Prevention month in April, it’s important to remember that child neglect is by far the largest category of child abuse. 

Although teachers are usually reliable lines of defense for children suffering from neglect, the increasing number of children under the guardianship of a drug addict is overwhelming schools and case workers. Reported incidents of child abuse in Delaware have nearly doubled in the past seven years. 

Additional reports of abuse require additional action. 

That’s why the Beau Biden Foundation is working to train teachers, parents, and all citizens to better recognize signs of abuse. 

Help us train 500 adults in April by chipping in so we reach our March fundraising goal. It takes $7 to train each adult. 

Can you assist us out with the cost? Give $7 so we can keep educating Delaware’s communities on how to prevent child abuse.  <https://u4796854.ct.sendgrid.net/wf/click?upn=33xIkxYvDM7N-2Blaob-2FkTt9Hl6Hwt93F9lq2OucZR8K-2FUgxqQOn52yFx2jPoGcTqZ6wDHvill31boW5FJZa2DEqETlMcon8UXmk6jXTofpLgnr5j02TtTXSXPQ8JyFr7vaAhk8eimTiD-2FMaNTH299uSGoB6AwkcgZ4RFgsnXUDag9pkIjYav5H588XgectMWdj148A6dXMnPJxnBXBBJw7iVta4fT5sIfsAxPn9cp2LwvP3ePDOirHlbuUh3dmxkCMZZM8Gcgd4OPVMTOHWoMmm4LIHolgEg2WG5KqbSxqcDSjkKHyv7pcIerq5RZrCll_965qgnSKMGnfdrpX9iBiZl20XmiOnDcUJ2KfoxcqP6U83Q7MwPJUOLpfjy7cPBuOZFyiq5jJr57JE5ToYJZpqc3ropBkTHlS814cn5B7WzKbMr5aXAMTGPvOdLi2rNvIZPeDrEg0QCeFWkASeA-2FpDwRT2MlO-2B9jjZkbU1IJQY24Pvmht-2FjQp4rGu-2FKiFrYfwVGObEe1HtD1TDCNDNbkLELAiUM6LsMyo9x6jpQMe6QUFRUMFwPebk3g6nWBMPIsYeVy-2B3WxO-2Fa4nj-2Fabtk3DNY9iF72GhfLu7u6c2sdxSzWYetlr0strbGTKJsfBzYYLoOyVxdGBcJTM79USmAX3kGX9hunlWnmMWRfY9-2BJC-2BVtdMb6DgMrFnFqRSs-2FsiqBQG3zDnj6WbdNE2pKHtbHPNA-3D-3D>

March 30: “Troubling Statistics”

We’re about to head into April, which is an important month for the Beau Biden Foundation because it’s Child Abuse Prevention month. 

In the fight to end child abuse, it’s important that we talk about the statistics surrounding abuse. Before we can end it, we have to understand the risks. 

One out of ten children will be sexually abused before they turn 18. 

The Beau Biden Foundation is working to fix this by training adults on how to eliminate threats and recognize signs of abuse. 

Our goal is to train 500 adults in April at various events throughout the month. We need your help to fund it. It takes $7 to train each adult. 

Can you help us out with the cost? Give $7 so we can reach our goal of training 500 adults in April.  <https://u4796854.ct.sendgrid.net/wf/click?upn=33xIkxYvDM7N-2Blaob-2FkTt9Hl6Hwt93F9lq2OucZR8K-2FUgxqQOn52yFx2jPoGcTqZ6wDHvill31boW5FJZa2DEqETlMcon8UXmk6jXTofpLgnr5j02TtTXSXPQ8JyFr7vaAhk8eimTiD-2FMaNTH299uSGoB6AwkcgZ4RFgsnXUDagbR1ypTpY-2BIfydYdvHeGVYpoNNFVFe4-2BLO3z1hS8F8owcbqAtM6eYJnwT1W0xuj-2FRq3i6TGYU7KTAyWlfnV5wAV3-2BSYpYqLGtxcLcLW5mmYGeBebRBN2h2xPo8wEZQG2ksdcNLH9KgwHCpW68pxc6H_965qgnSKMGnfdrpX9iBiZl20XmiOnDcUJ2KfoxcqP6U83Q7MwPJUOLpfjy7cPBuOZFyiq5jJr57JE5ToYJZpqbPwJWhrKoqET2weQiJ4TU7r8KrpFWIaU6KEBiC-2Bu3puWqt1RvPFiY7kY2YFL2SY-2F9POMv8LDxuS2x85Y7Y5cRZuwmJxP6Cu0021FWGhRVGOx8VRpVm8waNhlqBCM79Ck-2BSnCiHc7oHSDTtuG-2FkUwmYH8Fgy3PciH62fapDN4f6pjv4KUKfGZKl11DQKQMXWz81VHPqWgkuwCO9wDI8Ts9WixPjte7UBuu1hnv1vSOG4yUO-2BV6vGnP4mLgFo-2FbRxpZfpQniKKrwkMSDlQwVqQPQ1ZHlHy33vBbQbWtWpBXO4wr1qRQJtyXNIEbNm6C6WBA-3D-3D>

March 28: “Let’s catch up”
Hey team, 

I hope you’re enjoying the spring season as much as we are at the Beau Biden Foundation. Before we finish off this month and head into April, I wanted to give you a quick recap on what we’ve been up to over the last few weeks. 

The Beau Biden Foundation took part in two big events this month, and they were both major successes. 

The Second Annual Beau Biden Foundation Trail Run - We had over 800 participants running through the trails of the Granogue Estate and 30 virtual runners who supported us from home. When all was said and done, we ended up crushing our fundraising goal of $20,000. And Vice President Joe Biden was cheering everyone on from the sidelines. Take a look at our event photos on Facebook. <https://u4796854.ct.sendgrid.net/wf/click?upn=33xIkxYvDM7N-2Blaob-2FkTt9Hl6Hwt93F9lq2OucZR8K-2FUgxqQOn52yFx2jPoGcTqZ6wDHvill31boW5FJZa2DEqETlMcon8UXmk6jXTofpLgnr5j02TtTXSXPQ8JyFr7vaAhk8eimTiD-2FMaNTH299uSGoB6AwkcgZ4RFgsnXUDai3CSuURJERnn1MmCz7m4Pfp9vPLuJkafNIJFvbeaKQnZq8rOS9gKE67SgKLAjSizsRTBHKjc3P-2FOJM1-2F7ctfNyD-2F6h0mrLz6fstwsdMCd-2BZotyKGulS8eq5xw-2F9sybnzyJmZPXzJnW8CBeHki376m9I4nh3A4kDaHIUg6reDBN3L1Z15YOpA7W57L02jikxks-3D_965qgnSKMGnfdrpX9iBiZl20XmiOnDcUJ2KfoxcqP6U83Q7MwPJUOLpfjy7cPBuOZFyiq5jJr57JE5ToYJZpqRhnVHMK3uGmhP-2FPSCh-2FCr3JeUvOuqBIj3COTeKdNiIMoWIXAGsrBn4cNvQgnHwAYWxt1nlYehyqh9laWWGhrR4vTLEDLw6HfmNDHR3aJPYPplN4rQD7nbn-2FxU7kM6QmhvdLS2i4FKvaPUUflKE19CHOXq4qmNotuFd-2BTC-2FTIfz7neZUk4z-2Fr5H-2BNeSksKW-2F8TRAD2Zk84NYltkryLLZepmLeym-2Bah5K4dLXEaz1SivyJr1szzDSbBFV7HnlVh5QDWNFvx9-2BK2z5cvRAvGh9p6McQXqIPgkieMVYREF2s7S5jRTY2F1cs-2F6yFjKRlDrW8Q-3D-3D> 

Hoops with Vice President Joe Biden - On March 25th, Vice President Joe Biden came out to the Delaware 87ers game to deliver a few remarks about the Beau Biden Foundation and auction off game-worn Beau Biden Foundation branded jerseys. At the game, the foundation also helped create 50 Child ID kits and the CEO of the Philadelphia 76ers announced they'd be making a $20,000 donation to the Foundation so we can continue to spread awareness programs around the state.

Make sure you don’t forget to sign up for our next big upcoming event. 

Red Clay Regional Conference for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect - This conference takes place on March 31st-April 1st and has several sessions designed to train adults to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. The Beau Biden Foundation will present two sessions during the conference, “Steward of Children” and “Protecting Children in the Online World.” With summer coming up, children can often have more unsupervised time, so it’s important to learn how to make sure the necessary precautions are taken to keep them safe.
