Can't make the event, but still want to support Child Advocates?
The Pull for Kids Classic is Child Advocates’ largest fundraiser. It will kick off on Saturday morning with the annual Pull for Kids Classic Sporting Clays Tournament for both individual and corporate teams at the American Shooting Centers. The clay shoot will include great food, games and fun giveaways. It is sure to be a wonderful time, all while benefiting Child Advocates and ‘pulling’ for our kids
Saturday evening we will continue our Celebration of Hope as we Paint the Town Blue at Bayou City Event Center. Our relaxed, evening party will entertain you with a delicious dinner and drinks plus incredible live, silent and big board auction items—all while we share a moving story about our mission.
Your investment is needed more than ever and will support Child Advocates’ work implementing essential programs to better address the unique and complex needs of foster youth and help them heal from childhood trauma. Please join us as we raise $650,000 this year to give Child Advocates the resources to serve 1,525 children in 2023.
About Child Advocates
Every 8 minutes, a child in Texas experiences abuse or neglect.
Last year over, 6,000 children in the Houston area experienced such life-threatening abuse or neglect that they had to be removed from their homes and placed in foster care. Child Advocates trains everyday people to advocate for the best interests of these children in court so they can find safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible.
A family reunited thanks to their advocate
Damarius said, "I just want to go to school. I want to graduate and I want to go to college." So Coy made sure he didn't fall through the cracks.
One grandmother shows she can care for six children in order to keep the family together.
A family reunited thanks to their advocate
Since 1984, Child Advocates has recruited and trained over 5,800 advocates who have helped over 26,600 children.
By underwriting or attending this fundraising event, you will ensure that more foster children in Houston will receive the support of an advocate.
Contact Hayley at 713-529-1396 or hayley.jaska@childadvocates.org to become an underwriter for the 2023 Pull for Kids Classic
