Who We Are / Board of Directors

Our Founders

Barbara & Frank Sinatra

“The center offers tranquility and safety to victims-perhaps for the first time in their lives. It is a place of trust, where the healing process can begin. The cheerful entry hall has an inviting play area with giant stuffed animals and several of Frank’s most brightly colored paintings. The whole atmosphere is of love and warmth.”
