 Happy New Year! We are
so excited to kick off another year working to
prevent child abuse and neglect here in Northern
Virginia, especially because friends like
YOU have been so generous in our Give 12 by 2012 campaign!
We've
already surpassed our goal of raising
$12,000 by January 12th, so we've set a new
goal: $20,000. An additional $8,000 will
fully fund an additional CASA
training, which means we can equip 10 NEW
volunteers to advocate for more abused and
neglected children in Alexandria and
Arlington.
> Help us reach our GIVE 12 BY 2012
goal! |
