The Caring Angel Program
$1 Million and Counting
The Caring Angel Program began in 1992 as a holiday fund-raising event that supports children, youth and families in Butler County. The event, which began as a small project, has blossomed into a community-supported effort that raises nearly $100,000 each year. Since the beginning of the campaign, more than $1 million has been raised.
The 2009 Caring Angel Campaign raised nearly $65,000 to support children, youth & families in Butler County
How the Caring Angel Funds are Used
The funds raised through the Caring Angel Program provide support in three vital areas:
- BMH Family Services, which provides educational, therapeutic and support services to children, youth and families
- The BMH Recovery Project, a support group for recovering young addicts
- The BMH Emergency Department, which annually provides over $100,000 in services to children whose parents or guardians do not have insurance or resources to pay
Family and Youth Services
A portion of the funds is given to the Family First Resource Center of Butler Memorial Hospital, which provides many necessary services to children and their families. For the past two years, the Caring Angel Program has also helped to support the Butler Regional Recovery Club, a drop-in center for recovering young addicts.
