Each year, nearly 2,000 kids and families are referred to the Children's Advocacy Center of Suffolk County (CAC) for the help and support they need to heal from sexual and physical abuse and exploitation. I am proud to be participating in this year's Ginormous Climb to help raise critical funds and awareness for some of our community's most vulnerable members.
