17TH Annual
BOWL AGAINST ABUSE
Kent Lanes
April 25, 2015
Fundraiser for the Children’s Advocacy Center of Portage County
Child abuse has enormous costs.
1 in 10 children will be sexually abused by age 18.
The Children’s Advocacy Center reduces the trauma experienced by children involved in reports of sexual
abuse. A child-centered, coordinated response includes specialized interview, medical, & advocacy services.
The Center opened in 1998, served 943 children in the last 5 years, and 215 children in 2014.
More than 1,300 children die every year from abuse or neglect.
The Mission of the Children’s Advocacy Center is to improve the community’s response to child abuse and
neglect and to lessen the negative impact of abuse on children.
Bowl Against Abuse directly supports our program activities.
For 17 years The Children’s Advocacy Center has teamed up with hundreds of bowlers, donors, and
volunteers in an effort to reduce the devastating effects of child abuse. This fun and meaningful event
brings community members together to raise awareness about the problem of child abuse while raising
funds to support the goals of the Center.
