Caring for Kids isn’t just a fundraising campaign—it’s a movement. Running from April through June, this initiative coincides with Child Abuse Awareness & Prevention Month, rallying our community to protect and empower children who need it most.
Every dollar raised fuels the core services of the Children’s Advocacy Center, ensuring children who have experienced abuse or trauma receive the critical support they deserve. From forensic interviews and medical evaluations to therapy sessions and community outreach, these funds provide a direct lifeline for healing and justice.
But Caring for Kids goes beyond fundraising. It’s about raising awareness, starting conversations, and fostering a culture of compassion. It’s about standing together to create real, lasting change.
Join us in this mission. With your support, we can provide hope, healing, and a safer future for the children in our community.
