The Child Advocacy Center works as a team with the Department of Children’s Services, law enforcement, and the District Attorney’s Office to respond to child abuse cases, investigate the crime, aggressively prosecute offenders, help children heal, and help families rebuild their shattered lives.

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 serious crimes against children.  Come to the party to celebrate the end of the summer and light up the night for child abuse victims,” said Child Advocacy Center Director Sharon De Boer.  “Enjoy a magnificent end of the summer party to support our communities youngest and most vulnerable crime victims—child sexual abuse victims.”
