RUTHERFORD CO., Tenn. — The Child Advocacy Center’s 25th Anniversary Celebration is Monday at the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce.
Since 2000, it has helped over 50,000 people Rutherford and Cannon Counties, working to protect children from abuse and offering prevention training.
The center works closely with the Child Protective Investigative Team to respond to cases of child abuse, sexual abuse, and drug-endangered children. Executive Director Sharon De Boer says the milestone is a testament to the commitment of staff, volunteers, and community partners who have made a real difference.
The community is invited to celebrate the anniversary. It will be at the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce at 4 p.m. August 11.

As we honor those who have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice, it is also heartening to see the military right a wrong. Chris Davis brings us the moving story of a Purple Heart ceremony two decades in the making. It's worth a watch.
A heartfelt thanks to all who bravely serve.
