Your partnership will support crisis intervention services for child abuse victims, child sexual abuse victims, drug endangered children, and child sexual abuse prevention trainings to educate parents, grandparents, and professionals how to protect children from child sexual abuse.
“Child sexual abuse and other crimes against children often occur in the dark. This event brings to light the serious issue of crimes against children,” said Child Advocacy Center director Sharon De Boer. “Come out, enjoy a magnificent end of the summer party, and support our communities youngest and most vulnerable members—child abuse victims.”
