Welcome From Bonnie Brae's C.E.O. and Board President

 

 

 

 

Welcome to Bonnie Brae's fifteenth annual Polo Classic!  As you enjoy a hopefully warm spring day in the country please remember that by attending you are directly helping the more than 150 children, youth, and families served each year on Bonnie Brae's 100-acre Liberty Corner campus.

 

Highlights of the past year have included:

·         Close to 100% occupancy of our 97 beds!  By operating at such a high level of occupancy Bonnie Brae has helped New Jersey to reduce the number of children sent out-of-state for residential treatment from more than 400 just a few years ago to less than 50 today!

·         Successfully passed our tri-ennial Joint Commission survey thus proving once again that Bonnie Brae provides the highest quality treatment services.  The Joint Commission is recognized world-wide for having the most rigorous standards for hospitals, residential treatment centers, and other health care facilities.

·         Began providing aftercare services to several Bonnie Brae alumni.  In response to recognized needs of our graduates Bonnie Brae staff now offer help in the home communities of our alumni.

·         Bonnie Brae Ambassadors, our student leaders, continue to volunteer their services with Bridges Outreach program, the Matheny School, and the Tunnel to Tower run.

·         Our drum corps, the Bonnie Brae Knights, have performed at Fellowship Village, the St. Patrick's Day parade in Hackettstown, Miles for Matheny, and the Tartan Day parade.

·         Thanks to a generous grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation we are in the process of expanding our transitional home in New Brunswick from 5 to 8 beds.  This expansion will allow more of our older adolescents to gain the independent living skills and community-living knowledge needed to be successful on their own.

·         Finally, our varsity basketball team earned their championship status in an interscholastic league of 15 other school teams!

 

Your support today and in the future makes our tag line "small victories every day" real!  Thank you for your help!
