Vision of Hope, launched in July 2005 by PCAR and former PA First Lady Michele M. Ridge, is a campaign aimed at protecting our children from the devastation of sexual abuse. Through Vision of Hope, professionals, corporations, community leaders and elected officials are working to protect – and restore – the hopes and dreams of our children. Nationally, Vision of Hope promotes and funds critical research, effective prevention strategies, services to victims and programs that increase adult responsibility and accountability.
