Benefiting Teen & Youth Sexual Abuse Treatment
Come Back Coffee was named, with permission and support, for the book Come Back: A Mother and Daughter’s
Journey Through Hell and Back, a true story about a daughter’s descent into the “underbelly of society”,
following childhood sexual abuse, and her mother’s efforts to bring her back. One of the girls in the
program designed the label, the girls came up with the name and they have begun to sell the product.
One of the girls in the program e-mailed the authors and they were so impressed by the courage these
girls displayed while healing from incest and the innovative methods the program uses to empower the girls,
that the authors agreed to waive their $15,000 speaking engagement fee to join the girls for a weekend.
The authors recently came to Madison, free of charge, for a retreat with the girls in Canopy Center’s
teen girls sexual abuse treatment program.
The teen girls who created and organized this fundraising project chose to sell fair trade coffee from
the entirely female owned and managed LaFem Growers Cooperative of the Nicaraguan Highlands, as well as
the Mut Vitz Grower Co. of Mexico. These cooperatives use their fair trade premiums for community based
projects like women’s health initiatives, women’s education, peace efforts in the warn-torn region of
Chiapas, and more.

Frances L. Nelson Foundation
In 1991, a generous anonymous donor created a foundation to support the work of the Canopy Center.
The donor named the foundation after Fran Nelson, who was the Canopy Center’s Executive Director from
the organization's creation in 1976 until her retirement in 2003. The foundation not only honors Fran’s
many contributions to the agency, but also brings exciting new opportunities for enhancing the agency’s
efforts.
