Join us in supporting children who receive care at the Mary Bridge Children's Child Abuse Intervention Department and the Children's Advocacy Center.

Thanks to annual donations from caring individuals and an endowment funded with the help of the Rotary Clubs of Pierce County, nearly 15,000 children suspected to be victims of abuse or neglect have received care through these programs since 1988.

The Child Abuse Intervention Department and Children's Advocacy Center (located on the Mary Bridge Children's campus) offer medical assistance, forensic interviews, family support and general education to empower members of the community to recognize signs of abuse.

These services would not be possible without donor support. Insurance does not cover all medical care costs associated with abuse — especially sexual abuse — leaving victims with limited options.

For this reason, we are pedaling for the kids on Saturday, August 26. All proceeds benefit child abuse prevention and treatment programs at Mary Bridge Children's.
