Outraged By Child Abuse

Outraged
by child abuse?

Let’s put an end to it.
The need is great. National studies show that 1 in 10 children will experience sexual abuse or exploitation before age 18. The statistics in our corner of Michigan aren’t much different.

We need your help.

Giving Tuesday




Giving Tuesday is 11/27/18. A Global Day of Giving. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.
