Their mission is to raise funds to complete construction of a child friendly facility, by continuing to develop community awareness and to support a coordinated response to child abuse. Formed in 2003 by a group of individuals in the Monmouth County community, The Friends sought to raise the funds needed to build a full service Child Advocacy Center in Monmouth County.

Tigger’s family is active as philanthropists in the community. They have courageously decided to honor their son and take a resolute stand to fight the raging opiate/heroin epidemic devastating our youth. The Tigger House Foundation is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization. Learn more at: tiggerhouse.org. |
