listed below.
All
proceeds from the festival will benefit the Greater Lakes Child Advocacy
Center, a local non-profit whose mission is to break the cycle of abuse
by improving prosecution rates and helping those affected by abuse on a
path to healing. The GLCAC strives to reduce the traumatic effects of
sexual and physical abuse and exposure to violence by creating a safe
and child-friendly environment where children can talk to a trained
professional forensic interviewer, streamlining the investigation
process and coordinating services for families. In addition the GLCAC
also offers programs for parents, agencies, and community groups to
promote awareness of child abuse and how to recognize, react
responsibly, and prevent it.
The GLCAC
has served children and families in Belknap County since 2005. To date,
over 1500 children affected by abuse have benefitted from their
services. Many thanks to Sticks and Stones Farm and the myriad of
community members who support the GLCAC and its mission in the fight
against child abuse.
