Change the Story: An Evening for Child Advocacy - Support Center for Child Advocates

Join us to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of those devoted to our mission and to changing the story for children and families. We will proudly recognize Deborah F. Cohen, Esq. with the 2025 Judge Lois G. Forer Child Advocacy Award. Debbie and her husband, Rob, have been ardent supporters of Child Advocates for many years. Debbie exemplifies a passion for child advocacy through a decade of service on Child Advocates’ Board of Directors, with multiple terms as Board President, and service as a volunteer attorney for 18 young clients since 1987. She has also served as Vice Chairman of the Board for The Food Trust and Board President for Cradles To Crayons. We are deeply grateful to Debbie for her longstanding commitment to our work and her steadfast support of youth development and legal aid organizations in Philadelphia.

We will also celebrate the journeys of Santia S. and Nathan Riley as this year’s
Andi Broad Distinguished Clients, and recognize all of our 2025 Distinguished Advocates for Children.
