22nd Annual Pam Postumus Auction Highlights

Mission Moment

Children Trust Michigan is proud to select Family Resource Centers (FRC) as this years mission moment to help raise critical dollars. FRCs are community led, family centered, and a space where support and services are delivered in response to each family’s needs and values. As of May 2024, Children Trust Michigan operates 11 FRCs, having served over 27,500 families statewide. These centers provide vital resources, including basic needs assistance, food aid, mental health services, early childhood education, home visitation, parent education, among other services as well! The funds raised will directly support these critical services, ensuring that our communities and families receive the help they need to thrive.  Please consider supporting this effort to support families across Michigan.

Champion for Children Award

2024 Champion - Dr. N. Debra Simms, Child Abuse Pediatrician


Since 2012, Children Trust Michigan has honored a Champion for Children. The awardee is nominated by the Board of Directors and approved by the Board’s Executive Committee. The honoree will be a Michigander and an advocate for programs and/or legislation supporting child abuse prevention.

This year Children Trust Michigan chose Dr. Debra Simms as our 2024 Champion for Children recipient. Her career as a child abuse pediatrician is highly specialized, and Michigan is fortunate to have her contributions to keeping kids safe. Whether it is her work alongside the Children’s Advocacy Center, her collaborative spirit to engage in statewide committees for child abuse prevention, or serving as an expert in medical examinations and testimonies  to help children who have been harmed. There is no doubt that Michigan’s system for child well-being is improved because of her dedication and passion for the mission. Children Trust Michigan is honored to award Dr. N. Debra Simms the 2024 Champion for Children!
