“Bob Cahners of the Boston-based Cahners publishing family, a noted philanthropist, moved to the Naples area 20 years ago and became involved in many community causes, including serving on the board of trustees of the Naples Shelter for Abused Women and Children.

On March 9 of this year, Cahners dedicated Pam’s Porch at the Rabb Cottage, one of the shelter’s seven transitional cottages, in memory of his wife, Pamela, who died in March 2013. He had previously made funding possible for one of the cottages.

“Bob Cahners has been a wonderful ambassador for the Shelter for Abused Women and Children for over 15 years,” said Linda Oberhaus, the executive director. “In addition to being an original member of the shelter’s board of trustees, he supported our capital campaign to build a state of the art domestic violence center in Naples.”
