The quilts were passed on to Dr. Deb Crawford, the forensic pediatrician who some of the children we talk to visit for medical examinations. Dr. Crawford will have them on-hand to give to kids she sees.

We are sure these quilts will make the children they are given to feel warmer and more comfortable as they are provided the services needed to investigate their cases. Thank you to Sisters in Stitches for the thoughtful and unique gift!

Continue reading »]]> Three of the Child Advocacy Center’s largest events are coming up in the next six months.

“28 Hours of Hope” is a call-in fundraiser organized by K99 radio that benefits three local non-profits that work with children: The Child Advocacy Center, A Kids Place and the Namaqua Center. This annual event is scheduled to run from 5 am on March 22nd until 9 am on March 23rd.

“Run For a Child’s Sake” is a race through old-town Fort Collins. All proceeds will benefit the CAC. The 16th annual run will be June 9th.

“Bocce y Bella Sera” is our signature fundraiser, and a great time in general. Bocce is also known as “Italian lawn-bowling”, and our event involves bocce team competitions, an Italian dinner and a silent and live auction. The 11th annual “Bocce y Bella Sera” will be August 18th, from 2-8pm, at Kroh Park in Loveland.

More information will be coming out in the future about all these events. Please mark your calendars and join us for these events to benefit the CAC!
