About Us

The Reese Hughes Child Safety Foundation was created in memory of Reese Hughes, a joyful little girl whose bright spirit touched everyone who knew her. At just four years old, Reese’s life was tragically cut short due to abuse. Her loss left a hole in our family and our community, but it also ignited a purpose: to ensure that other children are protected and that other families never have to endure the same heartbreak.

Pink bows became a symbol of Reese in our town — a reminder of her sweetness, her innocence, and her light. Now, they also stand as a symbol of hope, awareness, and the promise to fight for child safety.

Through this foundation, we honor Reese’s life by focusing on prevention first. We believe that by educating families, raising community awareness, and connecting caregivers with resources, we can stop abuse before it begins. Our programs aim to strengthen families, reduce stressors that can lead to unsafe situations, and give neighbors and communities the tools to recognize and respond to warning signs.

The Reese Hughes Child Safety Foundation is more than an organization — it’s a movement born from love, loss, and the unwavering belief that every child deserves to grow up safe, cherished, and free from harm. Reese’s memory guides our mission every day, and through this work, her legacy continues to shine.
