EAC Network’s Child Advocacy Center Earns Re-Accreditation from National Children’s Alliance
EAC Network’s  Suffolk County Child Advocacy Center at the Pat & Mary Bagnato Place for Kids  has been awarded re-accreditation by National Children’s Alliance following an extensive application and site review process. As the accrediting agency for Children’s Advocacy Centers (CAC) across the country, National Children’s Alliance awards various levels of accreditation and membership to centers responding to allegations of child abuse in ways that are effective and efficient and put the needs of child victims of abuse first.

Kids Helping Kids Makes a Warmth of Difference
Once again EAC Network received hundreds of brand new coats and winter wear for our children in need from Kids Helping Kids by Kids Way, Inc., thanks to Founder Bob Eslick. Warm jackets are imperative this time of year, and as children grow it is difficult for some parents to replace coats. These coats will make sure that the young children in our programs are warm all winter long. Thank you, Kids Helping Kids!

Every year we are proud to participate in #GivingTuesday, which is a national dedicated day of giving held every year following Black Friday and Cyber Monday to remind our community that in this season of spending for friends and family, we should all remember to give back to those less fortunate.

Cohalan Cares for Kids is an annual fundraiser hosted by the Suffolk County Bar Association that raises funds for our Suffolk County Children's Center at Cohalan Court . The Children’s Center provides a safe, fun, and engaging environment for children while their parents or guardians attend to court business and promotes literacy by giving every child a book to take home each time they attend the Children’s Center – whether it’s once or 100 times.

This year's event will honor Sarah Jane LaCova, Executive Director of the Suffolk County Bar Association.

Attendees will enjoy live music, prizes, food, wine, and more!

Tickets are $60 or two for $100; law student tickets are $40.

Sponsorships are also available, ranging from just $150-$1,500.
