With over 450 community members in attendance at the luncheon, supporters were treated to an engaging presentation by Dr. Harvey Karp, author of The Happiest Baby on the Block. Known for his coveted techniques that help parents and caretakers successfully calm and support crying infants and toddlers, Karp showcased his fierce passion and expert knowledge about the well-being of children. In addition, Dr. Moses Grossman was honored for founding the Center and for his influential role in improving the lives of children and families as well as inspiring generations of people to take action against child abuse. Each year in San Francisco, over 6,000 cases of child abuse are reported. Such abuse not only endangers a child’s physical and emotional health, but also affects their development. That is why providing emotional, social and financial support for children and families is so important. Due to the generous gifts and support of the San Francisco community, the Center will be able to continue to make a huge difference in the lives of many Bay Area families.
