    In 2004, John and Magi Bish collaborated with Anna Maria College to create the Molly Bish Center for the Protection of Children and the Elderly in memory of their daughter. Molly Anne Bish, a 16-year-old Warren resident, was abducted from her lifeguard post in 2000. As a lifeguard, Molly took responsibility for the safety and protection of others. The Molly Bish Center was established with a mission to strengthen prevention, increase awareness, and expand participation at all levels of the community, to address a broad range of needs for children and the elderly. It is only through education and awareness that these issues can be addressed to reduce the number and extent of these types of cases. The mission of the Center is to provide a place where practitioners and family needs converge, by providing training in best practices and resources in a victim-family focused center.
