Prosecutors' Event Aids
Neglected, Abused Kids
On June 26, the Oakland County
Prosecutors' Foundation for Kids held its
Annual Golf Outing at the Fountains golf
course in Clarkston. More than 100 judges,
attorneys and police officers attended the
event. Proceeds raised go toward funding
the important work of the charity.
Founded by Oakland County Prosecutor
Jessica R. Cooper, the foundation pur-
chases essential supplies, clothing and toys
for children who are removed from their
home environment and placed in Building
H at Children's Village in Pontiac when
their parents, caregivers or grandparents
are charged with abuse and/or neglect.
Hundreds of children pass through
Building H each year, for a stay up to 30
days, after which some will go home, and
others go on to foster care.
On Sept. 13, the Prosecutors' Foundation
for Kids is holding its Second Annual 5K
fun run/walk (known as "Cooper's Mini")
at the Auburn Hills Cross Creek Parkway
and Valley View Drive (across the street
from Oakland University). For more infor-
mation or to donate, contact Jonathan H.
Schwartz at JSchwartz@seyburn.com or

Hospice Of Michigan Gets
$126,000 From Jewish Fund
Hospice of Michigan has received a three-year
$126,000 grant from the Jewish Fund to develop
a series of education and support workshops for
family caregivers of hospice patients and chroni-
cally ill adults and children.
The workshop series is expected to begin Oct.
1 and will be offered to families of patients in
Southeast Michigan currently receiving hospice
and palliative care. Course content will be devel-
oped and presented by HOM, along with medical
and other specialists from the Detroit Medical
Center.
Expected topics: what it means to be a caregiv-
er, effect of chronically ill patient on the function
of the family, taking care of yourself, accessing and
developing resources, and managing medications.
As our population ages, the demand for care-
givers is increasing, as is the demand placed on
caregivers:' said Dr. Michael Paletta, executive
director of the Hospice of Michigan Institute,
which secured the grant.
"Through the generous grant made by the
Jewish Fund, we can offer caregivers the enhanced
training they need to provide effective care and
use available health care resources."
The Jewish Fund was created in 1997 with
proceeds from the sale of Sinai Hospital to Detroit
Medical Center.
