Choose love, not violence. In celebration of our 25th anniversary in 2006, the CAC launched an awareness campaign called "Choose Love." We have commissioned Trish Thompson to create the original work for the 2007 campaign. Trish joins Dr. John Wilton (2006) and Mrs. Jane Jennings (2007) as the CAC's Choose Love Artists. The original piece will be auctioned off at our Sweetheart Gala on February 23rd and will be used as a promotional item (TBA) to raise additional funds for the center. We would like to express our deepest appreciation to Trish for volunteering her time and talents to create this piece to benefit the CAC.
If you are interested in our "Choose Love" promotional item (TBA) please give us a call at (386) 238-3830 or stop by The Children's Advocacy Center at 1011 West International Speedway Boulevard, Daytona Beach. All funds raised through the "Choose Love" campaign will be used to help fight child abuse and neglect in Volusia & Flagler counties.
