WHO WE ARE
The Catena L. Parker
Foundation for Missing Children
Purpose
The purpose of this foundation is to offer emotional support and assistance to families of missing children and to decrease the number of missing children through educating children and parents.
....................................
History
The Catena L. Parker Foundation for Missing Children was founded by the Parker family in January 1991 as a result of Catena's abduction and murder [Read the article in Richmond Times Dispatch (11/30/2008)].
....................................
Impact
The Richmond VA Bureau of Police has revised its policy on the handling of missing children's cases as a result of knowledge gained through the Catena L. Parker Foundation for Missing Children. The Virginia General Assembly recognized the foundation with a Commending Resolution. Sponsoring the resolution were Delegates Hall, Cantor, Cunningham, J.W., and Rhodes, and Senators Benedetti, Lambert, and Marsh.
WHAT WE PROVIDE
The foundation sponsors a Support Group for Families and Friends of Missing Persons that meets on the first Thursday of every other month. A Walk-A-Thon is sponsored annually for remembering Missing Persons.
