Thank you to all who supported and attended our 17th Annual Believe the Child Luncheon on May 7. Our Luncheon is our only annual fundraiser that supports the services we provide to children and families impacted by sexual abuse.

We were honored to gather with nearly 400 community advocates, area professionals, multidisciplinary partners, and survivors of child sexual abuse in a collective effort to raise awareness and foster an environment where Kent County children can begin to heal from the trauma they experienced.

There is still time to support the Luncheon and help victims of child sexual abuse leave the Center as survivors. Please consider helping to connect survivors with services that seek healing and justice.

“I believe that the Center makes the world a better place. And I think that all of us are only given a short amount of time on this rock. I think it’s really important to make a mark. And I think that there is no greater mark than helping those that are the most vulnerable among us.”
