Save CACs

Federal & State funds that support BCAC and 700 other CACs may be cut! Learn how you can contact your US Representatives and help over 1,000 kids in Baltimore and 260,000 kids in American each year. Click here.

Thank you to Sen. Benjamin Cardin (D-MD) and Representatives Elijah Cummings, Dutch Ruppersberger, and John Sarbanes, for signing the letters of support to save CAC's.  Also, thank you to Senator Barbara Mikulski for her unwavering support of children at risk.

Don't know your elected officials number? Visit http://mdelect.net/ to find out.

We're not out of the woods.  Yake additional action in one of the following ways:

  1. Call or e-mail Representatives Cummings, Ruppersberger, and Sarbanes and Senator Cardin to say thank you.
  2. Call your Maryland State Delegate or State Senator and urge them to pass a Maryland Budget that includes CAC support 
  3. Make a donation to BCAC today! Twenty percent (20%) of BCAC's funding comes from government support. If we lose this funding, we will be at risk of providing fewer services to our community's children who currently receive services free of charge. Please help us stabilize our base of support.  Thanks in advance!
