Walk with your local CAC in September and help raise important funds for our work on behalf of child victims.

As part of the SHINE campaign in Pennsylvania, CACs across the state are forming teams for a fun virtual/remote (and some in-person) walk events. Join us!

SHINE: A Campaign for Courage

Led by National Children's Alliance and hosted in the Keystone State by PennCAC and participating Children's Advocacy Centers, SHINE is a campaign to support victims and survivors of child sexual abuse and raise awareness about the work of Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs). This year, we're shining a light on the courage of kids to disclose abuse; of survivors to overcome trauma; and of individuals to take a stand against child sexual abuse in their communities.

In September, we are hosting remote/virtual walk events to raise important funds for participating CACs. When CACs are involved in the response to abuse, child victims have a much better chance of growing up to "shine" as survivors.

Visit our SHINE site to learn more and find additional ways to support the work of Children's Advocacy Centers to stop abuse and help kids heal.
