The All Star Children’s Foundation announces the appointment of Stephen Fancher as its chief development officer. Fancher will be responsible for overseeing all development and fundraising efforts for the nonprofit organization, which is dedicated to healing the effects of trauma suffered by children who have been abused and transforming foster care through innovation, science, and compassion. Graci McGillicuddy, All Star’s co-founder and board chair, notes that “Stephen has a rare mastery of education, finance, and the needs of nonprofits. He’s a musician and former teacher, who is devoted to empowering children. He also brings his years of expertise as a financial advisor at a leading firm.” Although McGillicuddy is thrilled with Fancher’s track record, she’s more impressed with his heartfelt commitment to making the world a better place for children. “He’s a leader who cares, and that’s exactly what All Star needs,” she says. “We’re delighted to welcome Stephen and know he’ll redouble our efforts to raise funds for our state-of-the-art treatment for childhood trauma.” Fancher says he’s “honored to have the opportunity to spread the word about All Star’s groundbreaking initiative. Children are the promise of tomorrow—and incredibly vulnerable to the caretakers they depend on today. Our future literally depends on them. When children are at risk, it’s a risk we all share. Without intervention, the damage of early childhood abuse can last a lifetime. We live in a community that cares about our children and I firmly believe that, with their support, we will bring cutting-edge solutions to regional foster care.”
