It Shouldn’t Hurt to Be a Child. Together, We Can Heal the Innocence Lost.
Every year, McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center helps over 1,500 children who have been victims of child abuse. While these numbers are heartbreaking, the difference we make is immeasurable—and we can only continue this vital work with your help.
The Facts Are Alarming:
- Every 8 minutes, a child is sexually abused in the United States.
- Nearly 5 children die every day from neglect or abuse.
- 1 in 10 children will experience sexual abuse before their 18th birthday.
- Shockingly, only 1 in 10 children will ever disclose the abuse they’ve suffered.
But together, we can change that.
Our Mission. Our Vision. Your Impact.
At McMahon Ryan, we are committed to ending child abuse in Onondaga County through prevention, intervention, and education. Our vision is a community where children are safe from abuse and exploitation, and where every child has a voice that is heard and protected.
We are working toward a future where all children are free from harm, but we cannot do this alone. Your generous support allows us to:
- Provide immediate help to children in crisis.
- Offer healing through counseling, advocacy, and support services.
- Educate and empower the community to prevent future abuse.
Your Gift Saves Lives.
With a donation of any amount, you are directly contributing to the recovery and success of children who have suffered unspeakable trauma. Together, we can ensure that these children receive the help they need.
Please join us in creating a community where all children are safe, protected, and supported. Your gift matters—because every child deserves a chance at a brighter future.

Blow Someone Away
“Blow Away” family, friends or co-workers with 50 pinwheels either planted on a lawn or delivered to work. They, in turn, will be challenged to blow someone else away, extending the reach of awareness and fundraising.
Donate the proceeds from your own community-sponsored event. Many people hold fundraisers in the form of birthday parties, golf tournaments, “jean days” at work, celebrity bartending events, and more. For further information, contact Development Coordinator Dana Walk or call 315-701-2985.
