Supporting a Worthy Cause

All proceeds from the event will benefit the Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) of Paris. The CAC is dedicated to providing a safe, supportive environment for child abuse victims in Lamar and Red River counties. Their services include forensic interviews, medical exams, therapeutic counseling, and victim advocacy.
The center’s mission is to alleviate the trauma faced by these young victims by delivering comprehensive care in a coordinated and efficient manner. A multidisciplinary team of professionals—including law enforcement officers, child protection workers, medical staff, mental health experts, and family advocates—works together to ensure thorough investigations and effective support for victims and their families.
