For her birthday this year, Kate wants to help support the Tree House, a local non-profit that does amazing work with abused kids.  While you're at it, read about the Tour de Cookie, their annual fundraising event...a bike ride through Rockville on a course lined with free cookie stands! 

Thanks for considering a donation!  (Tree House will email you a receipt for your taxes.)

Every year hundreds of bicyclists and cookie lovers join together to participate in The Tree House Tour de Cookie.  The ride is great fun and supports services critical to the community.  All proceeds from the event go to The Tree House CAC.  It is a joyful day of fun, festivities, and philanthropy.

The Tree House CAC of Montgomery County MD is dedicated to reducing trauma and promoting healing for child victims of physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect. For more than twelve years, the Tree House has served as the only child advocacy organization in Montgomery County, Maryland, and in the past year alone has supported over 700 children in the search for hope and healing. 

Our services include:

• comprehensive medical examinations
• mental health assessments
• ongoing mental health therapy for the child and non-offending family members
• victim advocacy
• forensic interviews
• nurse case management
• education & prevention

All of our services are free to victims and their non-offending family members.
