[if change.org asks you to "chip in" money, it is to share this petition, it does not go to CAN Council. If you want to donate to CAN Council, please do so here: https://cancouncil.app.neoncrm.com/forms/2022-cac-campaign thank you!]

For over 20 years, CAN Council's Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs) have minimized trauma to child victims of sexual abuse, physical abuse, and children who have witnessed violence by facilitating a multi-disciplinary team approach to the investigation and providing support to the child and non-offending caregivers throughout the process.

On October 1st, 2022 catastrophic cuts to state funding will threaten the operation of our CACs in Bay/Arenac, Huron, and Saginaw Counties. We are asking for your help to ensure our staff of caring professionals are here to listen, believe, and help every child who needs us.

You can make a difference for our children by:

• Signing this petition to contact local legislators
• Sharing on Facebook to help spread the word
• Donating to help us fill this funding gap and continue services for child victims
