Sarah Reed Children's Center

Today we’re celebrating our wonderful friends at Erie Insurance and McGill, Power, Bell & Associates, LLP! Thanks to their generosity (and great golfing skills!) Sarah Reed Children’s Center is the recipient of an $11,000 contribution through the Erie Insurance Charity Challenge, which is benefiting our St. Ann’s Campus Enhancement: Phase 2 initiative and helping to secure additional project funding. This $700,000 Phase 2 endeavor will enable us to continue renovating and restoring the St. Ann’s School for the 100+ students and 350+ families we serve on Erie’s east side annually. This building has been educating Erie children and helping create student and family success stories for 100 years! Special thanks to everyone at Erie Insurance and McGill, Power, Bell & Associates, LLP for their dedicated friendship and generosity – together we are positively impacting children and families in the Pulaski-Lighthouse neighborhood on Erie’s east side! To learn more about this campus and our Phase 2 efforts, please visit https://www.sarahreed.org/events/phase-2.

We’d like to give a big Sarah Reed welcome to our newest employees starting in August! This group includes our newest cohort of interns as well as new staff for the Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization programs. We're so excited to have you all!

Thank you so much to MagiKids by Weirdcards Charitable Club for sending us everything we need to hold a Magic: The Gathering card game group with clients in our Residential Treatment Facility! Our staff and clients were blown away by the amount of supplies we were gifted from this incredible organization. Thank you for helping our kids to find joy in learning!

A HUGE thank you to Gannon University for their generous donation of microscopes to our Hamilton Campus!

Thank you NAMI of Erie County for coming and providing the Youth Mental Health First Aid training!

🌟Last week, our staff had the privilege of visiting Sarah Reed Children's Center and providing Youth Mental Health First Aid training to their amazing staff! 🌟

Mental health is just as important as physical health, and we're committed to equipping educators and caregivers with the skills they need to support our youth. By working together, we can make a positive impact on the mental well-being of our community's young people.

Thank you to the Sarah Reed team for your dedication to the mental health of the youth you serve! 💚

We are overwhelmed by the generosity of our 2024 Erie Gives Day donors! Even though we are still awaiting our official results, you have already shattered all of our previous Erie Gives Day records, and we couldn’t be more excited by your outpouring of support for our children and families. We will be reaching out to thank each of our donors personally, and please stay tuned to see how your contributions are transforming the historic 100-year-old St. Ann’s School, as we continue to raise the funds needed to complete our $700,000 St. Ann’s Campus Enhancement: Phase 2 initiative. Our St. Ann’s Campus serves over 100 Erie students and 350+ families each year, and your special support on Erie Gives Day helps us continue our life-changing work for the children and families on Erie’s east side! www.SarahReed.org

Last week, Jessica Fuda Daddio (owner & instructor of Dreaming Tree Yoga) traveled to our Hamilton campus where she led the students in a fun & upbeat yoga class. Students and staff had the opportunity to learn different yoga poses and review the importance of mindfulness and meditation. Thank you so much to Jessica & Dreaming Tree Yoga; we had a blast!!!

Thanks to the Bob and Betsy Guelcher Fund established for the Residential & St Ann’s Campuses, we were able to significantly enhance the library by updating and adding to our book collection at the Residential campus. These new books were recently suggested by our clients! We are grateful for the ongoing support of Bob & Betsy Guelcher throughout the years. This is the most recent of many enhancements made possible through their heartfelt generosity. Betsy loved to read to the children here at Sarah Reed; her spirit of reading and learning lives on through the establishment of this fund. The kids are excited to get these new titles for some Summer 2024 reading!
