Dear Friends of JFK:
Just for Kids Child Advocacy Center is proud to be one of over 960 child advocacy centers across the United States. We provide free, trauma-informed services in a child-friendly environment, including forensic interviews, advocacy, therapy, outreach, and coordinated case management for children who have experienced abuse or witnessed violent crime.
In 2025, we’ve been averaging 40 forensic interviews per month, underscoring the urgent and ongoing need for our services in Raleigh and Fayette Counties.
For too long, crimes against children have been ignored, minimized, or met with discomfort. But these realities exist in our own communities, and we are committed to confronting them head-on and supporting those affected.
Thanks to your generosity and support of our annual charity golf tournament, we raised a record-breaking $130,000 — a truly transformative achievement.
These funds will have a direct and immediate impact, including: Stabilizing staff salaries for the next year, Maintaining our trauma therapy program, Expanding outreach efforts to prevent abuse, Supporting non-offending caregivers during crisis.
At a time when federal and state funding is declining, your contributions are essential. You are helping us protect and empower the most vulnerable members of our community.
All the best,
