FCAPC Family and Child Abuse Prevention Center works to promote healthy relationships and break the cycle of family violence so every home can be a safe home.

The Family and Child Abuse Prevention Center was founded in 1974 by local pediatrician, Dr. Bernard Cullen, and a small group of concerned citizens, who saw first hand the devastating effects of child abuse. While child protection and law enforcement agencies have a crucial role in child protection, our founders had the foresight to see the need for additional community partners. From the compassion, dedication, and vision of this small group of people, an organization has evolved with dedicated professionals who diligently work to break the cycle of family violence. With offices in Lucas and Ottawa counties, Family and Child Abuse Prevention Center serves over 50,000 people each year.

We’re so excited to partner with pēkoMD: Peter Koltz, MD for a special evening of self-care, community, and purpose in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Our goal is to fill every available appointment and welcome at least 50 guests — because 100% of the proceeds from this fundraiser will support the Family and Child Abuse Prevention Center and the work that is so greatly needed in our community.

There are 3 simple ways you can help us WIN:
1. Invest in YOU. 💆‍♀️
Book and pay for a PēkoMD treatment on or before October 9. You do not have to receive your treatment that evening — schedule it for a date that works for you! Be sure to mention the FCAPC fundraiser when booking.

2. SHARE, SHARE, SHARE! 📲
Send this to your friends, family, coworkers, social networks, and anyone who deserves a little self-care. Every share helps us reach another person.

3. COME SEE US! 💜
Join us Friday, October 9 from 5:00–7:00 PM at PēkoMD, 7634 W. Central Avenue, Toledo. Stop by, enjoy light bites and beverages, learn more about FCAPC, explore PēkoMD services, and simply be part of an evening that matters.

✨ Self-care can feel good AND do good.

To schedule a treatment or ask questions, contact PēkoMD at 567-408-7356 and mention the FCAPC fundraising event.

Book it. Share it. Show up. 💜
Together, we can make this a beautiful evening with an even greater purpose.

The recent news about the Ohio home where 16 children were found living in unimaginable conditions is heartbreaking. It reminds us that child abuse and neglect often happen behind closed doors, and sometimes the warning signs are missed.

Every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and protected. If your call helps even one child, it's worth making. Lucas County Children Services (419) 213-2273

April is Child Abuse Awareness Month, and today we wear blue to stand up for children everywhere. 💙

Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and protected. By wearing blue, we’re raising awareness, showing support for survivors, and reminding our community that we all play a role in protecting our kids.

Let’s continue to speak up, check in, and create spaces where children can thrive. Small actions can make a big difference.
