SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The KeyBank Foundation says it’s donating $50,000 to support the McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center’s efforts to prevent and intervene in child abuse as well as advocate for victims.
The McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center, which opened in Syracuse in 2002, has helped thousands of child-abuse victims and their families by providing legal, medical, psychological and social services, all in one place under one roof.
“We are incredibly grateful to KeyBank for their generous donation of $50,000 to McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy. This significant contribution will enable us to enhance our programs and provide critical support for children and families in our community,” Colleen Merced, executive director of McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy, said in the KeyBank announcement. “With the help of partners like KeyBank, we can continue our mission to advocate for and protect the most vulnerable among us. Together, we are making a meaningful difference in the lives of children who need it most.”
