SOS Children’s Villages SOS Children’s Villages is an international non-governmental social development organisation that has been active in the field of children’s rights and committed to children’s needs and concerns since 1949. SOS Children’s Villages focuses on family-based, long-term care of children who can no longer grow up with their biological families. At SOS Children’s Villages and SOS Youth Facilities they experience reliable relationships and a stable family environment, and are supported individually until they become independent young adults.

                               

The Cash family are long-term supporters of SOS. Johnny and June Cash donated property and financed the construction of a family house in Jamaica for SOS Children’s Village Barrett Town, and the family established a memorial fund that benefits the work of SOS Children’s Villages worldwide.

PAX PAX was founded in 1997 to bring new and effective solutions to the problem of gun violence in America - a public health crisis that claims the lives of 8 children every day. Through innovative public health campaigns (ASK and SPEAK UP), PAX promotes practical solutions that all Americans can embrace - solutions that protect families and children and work immediately to save lives. The ASK (Asking Saves Kids), developed in partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics, urges parents to ask their neighbors if they have a gun in the home before sending their children over to play. The SPEAK UP campaign features the nation’s first-ever anonymous hotline, 1-866-SPEAK UP, for students to report weapon-related threats at school.

Rosanne is a longtime board member of PAX, and was honored at their fifth annual benefit gala in 2005 for her generosity and dedication to preventing gun violence in America.
