Explore the milestones of The Saville Center
Child Watch Tour
Payne County BAR Association made funds available for an April 1998 "Child Watch Tour". The tour allowed many concerned citizens in Payne County to experience a reenactment of an abused child's journey through "the system". Immediately following this tour, a task force formed and appointed an 18 member Board of Directors.
Nonprofit Formed
The Child Advocacy Center of Payne County, Inc. became an incorporated 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
Philanthorpic Impact
An Executive Director was hired and the agency began serving the community in their temporary housing.
The Center began doing business as The Saville Center after Dorothy Saville, a long-time Stillwater resident, gave a substantial donation. In 2002, largely due to funds donated by Dorothy Saville, our permanent home was purchased and renovations began.A New Home
The Saville Center made a smooth transition into their new home without interruption to their services.
