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.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
