But first... and the MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS PROMOTION, we are so excited to announce the charity we will be supporting this spring.

A child in Arizona is abused or neglected every hour. Over 7,500 children in Arizona last year had to leave home due to reports of child abuse (Arizona Department of Economic Security Child Welfare Report). Approximately 30% of all of these reports were of physical abuse; the rest were emotional abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse. Even though each child's situation is very different, they all had one significant common factor; 100% could have been prevented. Facts & Statistics Arizona ranks fifth nationally in the rate of children with substantiated reports of abuse and neglect, almost twice the national average (Child Welfare League of America). Every child deserves a safe, loving home. The challenge exists to ensure that every child has a chance to grow up healthy and strong; that begins with a safe place to live. The Child Crisis Center offers services that protect & help children heal when families are struggling, find compassionate, supportive homes for children that need them, and strengthen families and minimize stress on their lives. |
