THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THE 2011 CHAMPIONS4CHILDREN WALK A GREAT SUCCESS. WE COULDN’T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU. YOU ARE ALL CHAMPIONS FOR CHILDREN!!!

Thank You!

  Despite the gloomy weather, 36 hardy Champions4Children walkers gathered at the Courthouse Plaza on Saturday, May 14th to participate in the 2011 Champions4Children 5K Walk to support the Champaign County Children’s Advocacy Center! 

 Fortunately, the rain stopped as check-in began!  Mike Williams, Executive Director of the Children’s Advocacy Center, welcomed the walkers and Debbie Miller of Louisville, Kentucky, treated the crowd to a beautiful rendition of “Innocent Child.”  Our Grand Marshal, State Representative Naomi Jakobsson, then led us on the short walk to Crystal Lake Park where we joined hundreds of runners and walkers participating in the 20th Annual Twin Cities Twosome.  The rain held off until everyone had crossed the finish line at Crystal Lake Park!

 Thanks so much to our Champions4Children walkers!!!

Each year, approximately 200 children are interviewed at the Champaign County Children’s Advocacy Center.  These children come to us following reports of sexual assault or serious physical abuse.  The Center provides these children with a safe, welcoming place where they are heard and where they and their families receive supportive, healing services.  Your support will help ensure that these children and their families continue to receive the help and support they need.   

With your help, we can end child abuse in our community.  Thanks!
