This year marks the 40th anniversary of Promises2Kids, originally founded in 1981 as the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation. It all started with a simple wish - ensuring children are safe, happy and loved. Three remarkable local San Diegans took that dream and transformed it into an organization that has supported over 200,000 abused and neglected children in our community. Norma Hirsh, Renee Comeau, and Robert K. Butterfield started this 40 years ago and proved that anyone can make a difference. In 2009, The Child Abuse Prevention Foundation became Promises2Kids.
