Exchange Club donates $50,000 to Care Center

The Naperville Exchange Club recently donated $50,000 to the Care Center at Edward Hospital, which provides medical services for children and special needs adults who may have been sexually abused.

The Care Center's physicians and staff employ a compassionate, empowering approach to deliver medical care, as well as community and professional education, expert testimony and state-of-the-art protocol development, in an effort to put an end to abuse.

The Care Center, which was established in 1990, serves a nine-county area, the FBI and military bases. For more information, visit www.EEHealth.org.

The Naperville Exchange Club was chartered in 1987 and is dedicated to the elimination of child abuse and domestic violence. Through financial contributions to more than 50 local charities, the club has raised more than $12.5 million from its service activities at Ribfest, an annual summer festival in Naperville.
