Spring is right around the corner and the perfect time to get outside and exercise. Gather up your family and friends and join us for the Child Abuse Awareness 5K and Walk in April.

Child sexual and physical abuse is a hard topic   to think about but it’s even harder to talk about. Children are our tomorrow and they are our most vulnerable population so we need to stand up for them and be their voice because it shouldn’t hurt to be a child.

April is Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month and we would love to see the community come together to celebrate children and show their support and commitment to the Fight Against Child Abuse!
