SUPPORT IN THE SHADOWS
FOR CRITTENTON
Crittenton Center hosts Support in
the Shadows, a unique “event” to
honor Child Abuse Prevention Month
throughout April.
Support In The Shadows is a phan-
tom event in that it doesn’t really
exist. To participate the center said,
“
Just purchase a ticket and do some-
thing that makes you happy, like host-
ing a family game night, spending a
day at the park or just reading a book
in your favorite chair. While doing so,
you will know that you are helping
those who can not help themselves
–
you are helping to prevent child
abuse and neglect.”
All proceeds from Support In The
Shadows benefit Crittenton Centers
and are 100% tax deductible.
Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for
children, or any size donation will be
accepted.
