That conversation bloomed into another about what they would do if such a mass casualty event were to happen in the Tacoma community, given they work at the region\u2019s pediatric trauma center.<\/p>\n<p>Those discussions helped inspire Finney to take action. She partnered with local law enforcement to organize a firearm giveback event, efforts that earned her a 2023 MultiCare CEO &amp; President\u2019s Award. This annual award series honors excellence and achievement at MultiCare.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The devastating impact of gun violence<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Firearm-related violence surged during the pandemic, and according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2024\/05\/14\/us\/gun-homicides-data.html\">a New York Times analysis<\/a>, the rate of fatal shootings per 100,000 residents still remains far above pre-pandemic levels in many parts of the country.<\/p>\n<p>One of the groups hit hardest by this surge in violence is young people. Firearm-related deaths among U.S. children increased 50 percent between 2019 and 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2023\/04\/06\/gun-deaths-among-us-kids-rose-50-percent-in-two-years\/\">according to the Pew Research Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the roles she\u2019s held in her career, Finney has become all too familiar with the devastating impact of gun violence on children, families and communities.<\/p>\n<p>While employed as a social worker in the pediatric intensive care unit at Mary Bridge Children\u2019s Hospital, one of the first patients she ever worked with was a 13-year-old with a serious gunshot wound who died as a result of their injury.<\/p>\n<p>Now as manager of CAID and the Children\u2019s Advocacy Center of Pierce County, Finney leads a team that works in partnership with government agencies and organizations to prevent, investigate and prosecute child abuse while supporting the well-being of children and families.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs part of that work, we sometimes interview children who have witnessed their parents being shot,\u201d Finney says. \u201cEven if a child isn\u2019t the one who is directly injured or killed by gun violence, it still turns their lives upside down. My work has really opened my eyes to the magnitude of this problem and that these deaths are preventable.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat I realized is just how much our community cares about child safety and well-being. And how powerful it is when we all come together in service of that goal.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Getting unwanted firearms off the streets<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In 2022, following the tragedy in Uvalde and after learning that firearm-related injuries had become the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/10.1056\/NEJMc2201761\">number-one cause of death for youth 1 to 19 years of age<\/a>, Finney knew she had to take action to support the safety of children in her community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I started asking about doing a gun giveback event, I wasn\u2019t sure if it would be approved,\u201d Finney says. \u201cBut every level of leadership at Mary Bridge and MultiCare said yes and supported this work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, what does it take to organize a gun giveback event?<\/p>\n<p>For starters, a year of planning. Finney first secured a partnership with the Tacoma Police Department and then started cold-calling other police departments around the country that had successfully held gun giveback events before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI finally got a call back from a lieutenant in Sacramento who talked me and my partners in the Tacoma Police Department through logistics and how to safely host the event,\u201d Finney says.<\/p>\n<p>She also rallied support from the community. Cheney Stadium offered space to hold the gun giveback event at no charge and <a href=\"https:\/\/multicare.wistia.com\/medias\/e9u17may0r\">played promotional videos<\/a> \u2014 one of which featured Tony Escobar, MD, medical director of surgery and trauma at Mary Bridge Children\u2019s \u2014 advertising the event at Tacoma Rainiers games.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, April 30, 2023, all of Finney\u2019s efforts came to fruition with the help of volunteers from the Tacoma Police Department, Mary Bridge Children\u2019s and the community.<\/p>\n<p>More than 120 unwanted firearms were surrendered at the drive-through event in exchange for gas or grocery gift cards. The Tacoma Police Department then destroyed these firearms.<\/p>\n<p>The gun giveback team also handed out 50 lockboxes, provided by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marybridge.org\/patients-visitors\/patient-family-support-services\/childhood-safety\/\">Mary Bridge Children\u2019s Center for Childhood Safety<\/a>, so families could safely store unsecured firearms in their homes.<\/p>\n<p>Following the success of the first firearm giveback event, another was held in October 2023. To honor Finney\u2019s hard work and contributions to the community, Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards bestowed Finney with the Compassionate Tacoma Recognition Award in May 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I realized is just how much our community cares about child safety and well-being,\u201d Finney says. \u201cAnd how powerful it is when we all come together in service of that goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What you can do to prevent firearm-related injuries<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to organize and host a gun giveback event to help prevent gun violence and firearm-related injuries.
