Billie Cole Early Childhood Center
Some people remain loyal and passionate to their favorite causes. Billie Cole served
on the Board of Directors in the 1960's and remains a strong supporter of the Home
today. It was during her tenure that the Home moved from its downtown Sacramento
location to our current campus facilities. The entire Cole family including all
of Billie's children, grandchildren and great-grand children became involved in
helping the Home.
To honor Billie and her long time support of the Home, the Cole family did something
truly meaningful for our youngest residents, our 1 to 5 year olds which we call
our Acorns. They adopted the entire Acorn's program by establishing a permanent
fund at the Sacramento Community Region Foundation to help these youngest abuse
victims. To show our appreciation, the Acorn's program has been named the Billie
Cole Early Childhood Center and is being transformed into "a true campus within
a campus". Through their generosity, a "challenge grant" has been created. For every
dollar donated to the Center, the Cole family will match it with an equal amount!
In effect; it doubles the value of each gift we receive! If you would like to donate
to the Center, please make sure to designate your gift.
