CAPS FOR CAPC & SUMMER FUNDRAISING

Dear Friends:

We hope this finds you and your family safe and healthy during this very unsettling time.

All charities are having to get creative right now in order to keep doing important work in our community. So ACAPC has decided to try and meet our supporters where you are right now by launching a "Makin' Rainbows" fundraising event. We are kicking things off with the sale of some stylish hats (see below!) We are also working hard to organize some fun events this summer that comply with current social distancing requirements while also giving all of us something exciting to look forward to. Please keep your eye out as we finalized details.

Thanks as always for your support. Let's keep makin' rainbows together!

Warm Regards,

Natalie Miles - President, ACAPC

CAPC'S own Carol Carillo was also quoted in this sobering article on an alarming decrease in child abuse reports due to the current pandemic. Read the full article here.
