Healing starts at the child advocacy center

 After more than 26 years of providing safety, justice and healing to children in Rutherford and Cannon Counties, the Child Advocacy Center will soon have a permanent home that is welcoming and child-friendly, and that has the space necessary to ensure confidentiality for those whom they serve. 


The CAC’s new home also will be large enough for the organization’s entire staff and members of the Child Protective Investigative Team to work comfortably in the same location.

Bill Whitesell and Kristin Demos are co-chairing the campaign. With assistance from the CAC’s board and other volunteers, they have raised $2.7 million to date. 


Bill served as a prosecutor assistant district attorney for 15 years and as District Attorney for 19 years. He also helped found the CAC and has served on the board since its inception. 


Kristin has been a longtime supporter of the CAC, serving on the board and chairing the annual duck race for many years. She and her husband own Demos Restaurants. 

Our Permanent Home

    

The CAC recently purchased 503 Highland Terrace, which is the building in which the organization has rented space for the past several years. “We are extremely grateful to Dr. Jim Garner, the owner of the building, for working with us and making it possible for us to buy the building. It’s ideal for the CAC,” says Whitesell. 


  “The CAC is a place where children, who are the most vulnerable members of our society, can begin their healing journey,” Demos said. She adds, “The tagline for the campaign is ‘Our Children, Our Watch’ because everyone in the community has a responsibility to help keep children safe.”

The CAC needs to raise another $400,000 in order to have the funds necessary to renovate the building. “Because one in 10 children have experienced sexual abuse before their 18th birthday, we all know someone who has been affected, adds Sharon De Boer, the CAC’s executive director.
