Special Event
Saturday, December 12, 2015
Separated from family and siblings, the holiday season can be a difficult and lonely time for the abused, neglected and abandoned children represented by the Second Judicial Circuit Guardian ad Litem Program.
Despite their circumstances and heartbreaking stories, these children still anticipate the season like any other child and we want to ensure that their holidays are bright.
Post-Event Update
A Happy Holiday For All: Celebrating Another Successful Guardian ad Litem Holiday Gift Drive
Each year, program staff and volunteers along with Child Advocates II, Inc. (CAII), our non-profit support organization, work with local businesses, community organizations and individuals to ensure that every child represented by our program receives gifts for the holiday season.
We need your help to meet this goal. Please join us and CAII for the 2015 Guardian ad Litem Holiday Gift Drive and help to bring some holiday cheer and normalcy to a child in the community.
Learn more about the drive and then register as a sponsor or donate funds. Thank you!
