Caring for Kids is more than just a fundraising campaign – it’s a movement dedicated to protecting and empowering the most vulnerable members of our community. Running from April, during Child Abuse Awareness & Prevention Month, through June, Caring for Kids raises crucial funds to support the core services provided by the Children’s Advocacy Center.
These funds are the lifeblood of our mission, directly impacting the lives of the children we serve. From forensic interviews to therapy sessions, and medical evaluations to community outreach programs, every dollar raised through Caring for Kids enables us to provide essential support and care to children who have experienced abuse or trauma.
But Caring for Kids is about more than just financial contributions – it’s about rallying together as a community to create lasting change. It’s about raising awareness, sparking conversations, and fostering a culture of compassion and support for those in need.
Join us in this important mission. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children and build a brighter, safer future for our community.
In the pursuit of a safer and brighter future for our children, the ‘Caring for Kids Campaign’ echoes the words of Fred Rogers:
"Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me."
Our mission is deeply rooted in the belief that by coming together as a community, we become heroes for the children we serve.
Our campaign recognizes the collective strength inherent in a multidisciplinary team and a loving environment. We stand as a united front, leveraging the expertise and compassion of our dedicated professionals to address the unique needs of every child under our care. Through collaboration, we build a fortress of support and understanding around each young individual, fostering an atmosphere of trust and healing.
Fred Rogers’ sentiment inspires us to view every act of advocacy, protection, and support as a heroic endeavor. As a Coalition of Hope, we understand that defending our children requires not just individual actions, but a communal commitment to their well-being. Together, we create a haven where children can flourish, knowing they are surrounded by a community that cares deeply about their present and future.
Join us in this heroic journey as we stand shoulder to shoulder, united in our commitment to defend and uplift the children of Jackson County.
