The young people and adult survivors we meet have been through hardships many cannot imagine. We must increase awareness so that they and others know they are not alone and not to blame. We must raise funds to help support them and help them heal.

Each year, over 1,700 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. Please help raise awareness and funds for these children by joining or supporting me in this year's Ginormous Climb. And thank you so much for caring.
