The Paluxy River Children’s Advocacy Center is once again partnering with D’Vine Wine on Thursday, April 20 for its annual Sip & CAC event.
Located at 107 E. Bridge St., from 5-8 p.m., the free event will include refreshments, entertainment, raffles, and free PRCAC wine glasses for the first 50 attendees.
“We hope the community will come out and enjoy some wine and music by Adam Richards,” said Traci Cooper-Ives, director of community education and engagement at PRCAC. “The PRCAC does this annually in April to spread awareness during Child Abuse Prevention Month.”
PRCAC’s mission is to promote the healing of child abuse victims one child at a time, according to the website.
“Only one in 10 children will ever report abuse,” Cooper-Ives said. “The PRCAC provides education and outreach events in schools and the community for both adults and children. Our goal is to reach the nine that wouldn't otherwise tell.”
The Sip & CAC event is only one out of several events that the PRCAC hosts in the spring in support of Child Abuse Prevention Month. Other events included the free screening of the “REWIND” documentary on March 29, the pinwheel garden planting on March 30, and the upcoming Y Healthy Kids Day on April 29.
“In March alone, 1,837 adults and children attended events hosted by the PRCAC,” Cooper-Ives said.
She said she encourages community members to come to the Sip & CAC event, where 20% of the proceeds will benefit PRCAC’s mission.
“Don't miss out,” she added. “Come pop a cork for a cause and help us reach the nine.”
