Please show your support of “National Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month” in April by purchasing a hoodie or t-shirt stating, “There is no excuse for child abuse” and wear it proudly on Go blue day on March 31, 2023. This is a fundraiser for the Children’s Place to buy new toys for the waiting rooms where children and protective family members begin their path to healing. We need to sell 105 hoodies or 66 t-shirts in order to purchase these toys.
 

All proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards improving our family waiting rooms, such as adding new VIGA interactive wall-mounted toys, that will provide hours of fun for younger children visiting our child advocacy center. The estimated cost of the toys is $421.62, and additional proceeds will be used to purchase more toys on our wish list.
 

The Children’s Place is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 1999, our mission is “To offer hope and healing to children and families impacted by child abuse and neglect through a coordinated community response.” We are a Child Advocacy Center that provides a safe space for abused children and non-offending family members.
 

In the last 5 years, 1,381 children were provided a place to be heard and a place to be helped and we have never charged a family for our services. Our team of professionals provide advocacy, medical and mental health care, legal and family support and we all work together for justice for children who have been abused. We cannot do this incredibly important work without your support.
