Our Beginning
On July
2, 2006, we lost our "Sunshine," Reagan Emery Williams, 2 1/2, a victim of Shaken Baby Syndrome. In the days
that followed, neighbors took up a collection, and that gift, along with donations which came in from friends and relatives
around the country, was the seed money for what would become Reagan's Rescue. Through ongoing fundraising efforts
and because of the outpouring of support in our community, especially the generosity of local business partners, Reagan's
family has begun the project of a lifetime. We could not save Reagan from domestic abuse, but we can intervene
in the lives of other children who daily live in peril. In this way, our Reagan will be a cause and not just a statistic.
Mission Statement
This organization's mission is two-fold: 1) to bring Shaken Baby
Syndrome awareness and education to the people of East Central Illinois, and 2) to support local organizations which aid families-
and children-at-risk.
What drives us? This astonishing fact: Shaken Baby Syndrome is 100% preventable.
