PART I, LINE 1: ORGANIZATION'S MISSION STATEMENT (CONT'D) THE ED BLOCK COURAGE AWARD FOUNDATION (EBCAF) HAS DEVELOPED AN INITIATIVE TO (1) RAISE NATIONAL AWARENESS OF CHILD ABUSE, (2) SUPPORT THE PREVENTION OF CHILD ABUSE, (3) ESTABLISH AND PRESERVE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EACH COURAGE HOUSE FACILITY AND ITS LOCAL NFL TEAM, (4) PROVIDE FUNDS AND EDUCATIONAL/TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO THE NETWORK OF COURAGE HOUSES, AND (5) HOST AN ANNUAL NFL COURAGE AWARD EVENT. IN 1989, THE EBCAF DEVELOPED THE COURAGE HOUSE NATIONAL SUPPORT NETWORK FOR KIDS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF ABUSED CHILDREN BY AIDING FACILITIES WHICH PROVIDE SERVICES FOR THESE CHILDREN; AND BY EDUCATING THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE REPERCUSSIONS OF CHILD ABUSE AND WAYS TO HELP BREAK THE CYCLE OF ABUSE. A COURAGE HOUSE IS A FACILITY THAT PROVIDES SUPPORT AND QUALITY CARE FOR CHILDREN WHO SUFFER FROM EMOTIONAL OR BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS RESULTING FROM THE TRAUMA OF PHYSICAL, SEXUAL AND/OR PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE. THE EBCAF ESTABLISHES PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN EACH COURAGE HOUSE AND ITS LOCAL NFL TEAM. THE NETWORK HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO 27 COURAGE HOUSES IN CITIES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THE GOAL OF THE EBCAF IS TO EXPAND THE NETWORK TO ALL 32 CITIES WITH AN NFL TEAM. THE CHARTER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE EBCAF AND EACH COURAGE HOUSE REQUIRES THAT THE COURAGE HOUSE AND ITS RESPECTIVE NFL TEAM WORK TOGETHER TO HAVE AN ANNUAL EVENT HONORING THEIR TEAM'S COURAGE AWARD RECIPIENT. THE EBCAF WORKS WITH EACH COURAGE HOUSE TO ASSIST THEM IN ORGANIZING THIS EVENT, SO THAT IT CAN BECOME A MAJOR FUNDRAISING SOURCE FOR THE COURAGE HOUSE. THE EBCAF ORGANIZES AN ANNUAL EVENT IN BALTIMORE TO HONOR ALL 32 COURAGE AWARD RECIPIENTS, ONE FROM EACH NFL TEAM. THESE RECIPIENTS ARE SELECTED BY THEIR TEAMMATES WHO FEEL THAT THEY EXEMPLIFY A COMMITMENT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF SPORTSMANSHIP AND COURAGE. THE AWARD HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS HONORS AN NFL PLAYER CAN RECEIVE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE WINNERS ARE CHOSEN BY THEIR PEERS. THE RECIPIENTS SPEND SEVERAL DAYS IN BALTIMORE FOR THIS EVENT. THEY VISIT THE BALTIMORE RAVENS COURAGE HOUSE TO MEET AND INTERACT WITH THE CHILDREN WHO RESIDE THERE. THEY MEET WITH COURAGE HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES WHO HAVE COME FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY TO ATTEND THE EVENT AND PROMOTE THE EXPANSION OF THE COURAGE HOUSE NETWORK. THIS EVENT PROVIDES THE EBCAF WITH SUBSTANTIAL LOCAL AND NATIONAL MEDIA COVERAGE TO ASSIST IN FURTHERING ITS MISSION.
