This year’s luncheon will feature a powerful testimony from a local parent whose child received services at CAMCAC after their family was impacted by abuse. She will share her journey of finding support, healing and hope through the center’s resources.
“We are honored to welcome a speaker who can provide such a deeply personal and inspiring perspective on the impact of our work,” CAMCAC Director Tracey Childress said. “Through this event, we aim to shed light on the prevalence of child abuse and the importance of early intervention, support and community involvement.”

In addition to the luncheon and keynote speaker, the event will feature a performance by a local children’s choir, a silent auction and the presentation of the prestigious Patrick McCruden Superhero Award, which recognizes an individual who has gone above and beyond in advocating for and protecting the children of our community.
All proceeds from the rally will directly support CAMCAC’s programs, helping to expand prevention efforts and provide critical services to children and families affected by abuse.
