The Cynthia L. Bischof Memorial Foundation is a catalyst for legislative and societal change. We hope to act in a thoughtful manner and serve as a role model for future mission-based, non-profit organizations. We aim to support the network of those who are already serving victims of domestic violence. We aspire to be the voice of the many victims who may not feel that they have a voice. We intend to expand accessibility of resources to those who might otherwise not have resources. Our hope is for a world without domestic violence; a world without the need for the existence of organizations such as ours.

We firmly believe our first initiative is to establish "The Cindy Bracelet" - a GPS-based monitoring device to be worn by violators of orders of protection enabling victims and others—such as family members and friends—to have safe zones. In the event that a perpetrator approaches the safe zone, authorities, as well as victims and their families, are notified immediately through text messaging or voice alerts to their phones or pagers. "The Cindy Bracelet" is a critical measure to save others from meeting Cindy's fate. It is also an important means to honor Cindy as she had identified the need for such a GPS device during one of her many court appearances. To this end, we continue to educate ourselves in the realms of technology and the justice system.

The foundation's subsequent initiatives continue to evolve, as do we. And, we need YOUR help to help OTHERS. We welcome community participation, as would Cindy.

Thank you for your support and energy. Join us in leading the change that Cindy wanted to see in the world.
