Please join us to learn more about an epidemic that’s impacting the well-being of kids in schools. 1 in 10 kids will be sexually abused by an educator or staff while in school. Illinois has made some progress at protecting youth in schools with Faith’s Law. However, more laws are needed to protect another vulnerable population in schools: students who are 18 years old and older, including kids with disabilities who often remain in high school through age 22.

We invite IL Senator Don Harmon's 39th District constituents to learn about a bill (HB4241) that would protect older teens in high school from predatory adults. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from the bill’s sponsors, IL Representative (111th District) Amy Elik.

Zoom Meeting 2

LIVE via Zoom

Calling all Illinois parents and advocates! Take advantage of this unique opportunity to experience Faith LIVE via Zoom. She'll be ready to answer questions about Faith's Law and its trailer bill - designed to keep kids safe from predatory adults in Illinois schools. KIDS TOO Staff will also be participating to help field questions about child protection topics including Educator Sexual Abuse.

Registration is free and it is required in order to participate. To submit your questions in advance, please click HERE.

The event will take place at the beautifully located East Bank Club where guests will enjoy a night of live music, appetizers, drinks and a paddle raise to support our mission.

Note: While this event is to support and protect children, it is an adult-only event.

As part of Child Abuse Prevention Month, we are partnering with local Oak Park businesses to bring attention to the CSA epidemic and raise funds to keep kids safe.

KIDS TOO CEO, Tania Haigh, will facilitate panel discussions in response to a community need dealing with teen on teen sexual assault. The Parent Town Hall will include special guests Faith Colson (Faith’s Law Illinois); Tom Hampson and New Trier Students Demand Change.

Attend our annual program where we will transport to Zialena Winery in Sonoma County and recognize the 2021 P.A.X.A. Warrior and P.A.X.A. Parent.

The 2021 P.A.X.A. Warrior is Terri Miller, President of the Board of Directors at Stop Educator Sexual Abuse Misconduct and Exploitation (S.E.S.A.M.E.). Her responsibilities include providing support, resource materials and research to survivors, their families, professionals and media. She is the mother of four grown children, grandmother to twins, and considers herself a M.O.M. or Momma On a Mission.

We are also thrilled to recognize Survivor Advocate, Faith Colson, as the 2021 P.A.X.A. Parent. Faith Colson is an advocate for child protection. Growing out of her personal experience as the survivor of sexual abuse, Faith has been working to get legislation passed in Illinois to better protect students from abuse in schools. As the mother of three children currently attending public schools, Faith also serves on a task force in another state that looks at school-based mental health services.

During the wine tasting experience, guests will enjoy and learn about three of Zialena's top wines- 2019 Sauv Blanc, 2016 Zinfandel, and a 2015 Cabernet. The sommeliers will take us through Zialena's wine making process - starting in the tasting room, through the vineyard and ending at their production facility. 

P.A.X.A. is partnering with Catan Pisco for this summer evening cocktail event at fabulous East Bank Club's River View Terrace with indoor and outdoor space alongside the Chicago River. Guests will enjoy a cocktail showcase, raffle prizes, small bites, and music all while supporting P.A.X.A.'s mission.

Please join P.A.X.A. Co-founder & Dad, David Haigh and board members Jon Bowker & Joel Foster at our inaugural P.A.X.A. Dads Summer Bash fundraiser with lakefront and Museum Campus views at Boat Drinks Chicago!

Boat Drinks Chicago, located at Burnham Harbor, is a place for great food, a cold drink or just to visit with friends. Dads will enjoy food, drinks, raffle prizes, and a live band (begins at 6pm) all while supporting P.A.X.A.’s mission.

Join us to kick off for The Conversations Program with Co-founder, Tania Haigh, and special guests: Terri L. Miller & Faith Colson.

This component of the P.A.X.A. Child Sex Abuse Program is primarily focused on several conversations to focus on prevention measures to prohibit child sexual abuse. This program is held with parents and/or adults in positions working around children. We hold the program quarterly via YouTube for parents to provide the platform for anyone to listen to our ongoing series. Throughout each one of our programs P.A.X.A. uses our 4-step uncovering process to help parents, adults or children uncover how to identify tactics, patterns, and behaviors.
