Story
I have been lucky enough to work with the Child Advocacy Center through my position of Juvenile Detective for the Exeter Police Department over the past 2 years. The CAC is a safe space for children who have been the victims of trauma and abuse to tell an impartial party what they have gone through. The kiddos never have to see police or sit in a police station. Any parent who has a child that has participated in an interview at the CAC can vouch for how wonderful the staff is to the whole family. Services are set up for parents as well as children for follow up regarding mental health and keeping the family safe in the future. This is all while the police department continues their investigation to take the abusers off the streets and away from hurting any other children. The CAC keeps their doors open through fundraisers such as this and any donations are gratefully accepted. 100% of the money raised goes towards keeping the kiddos of Rockingham County safe.
The Child Advocacy Center of Rockingham County first opened it's doors in the year of 2000 and was used as a model for CACs all around the state. This year we celebrate 20 years of turning hurt into hope. That's 20 years in which we have served over 7,000 children and have said taxpayers over 10 million dollars.The CACRC's first year participating in Beards for Bucks raised $15,000 and gave us our first Rockingham County BFB Champion, Deputy Chief Gelineau of Seabrook PD. Last year in 2019, we defeated all odds and broke multiple records by raising over $60,000 and for the first time being the CAC in New Hampshire raising the most funds.Help us prove that Rock County Rocks and support our law enforcement partners as they raise funds for our annual Beards for Bucks! BFB helps raise funds for your local Child Advocacy Center. As a non-profit center, we need your help! For our 20th Anniversary year, we need YOU to help us do it again. Our Champions need YOU!
