HARRISBURG, June 21 –
State Sen. LeAnna Washington
(D-Philadelphia/Montgomery) has been
reappointed to the Pennsylvania Children’s
Trust Fund (CTF) Board.
CTF is dedicated to funding community-based
programs to prevent child abuse and neglect.
It was established by the Children's Trust
Fund Act in 1988.
“I am proud to once again serve on this
important board,” said Washington. “Every
child deserves to live in a safe, healthy
and loving environment, and this position
gives me the opportunity to help communities
make that possible for our youth.”
The senator will serve on the CTF board
until 2009. She was first appointed to the
board in 2005.
As a board member, Washington distributes
grants that are intended to develop
innovative and creative child abuse and
neglect prevention programs; specifically,
primary prevention programs.
“By supporting prevention programs,
organizations can educate parents while
stopping the cycle of abuse and neglect that
often plagues generations of families,”
Washington said. |
