Celebrating 45 Years of Helping Children Thrive

The Giving Coast

The Child Protection Center (CPC) invites you to join them for an unforgettable evening at the 12th Annual Blue Ties and Butterflies gala, celebrating 45 years of service in the prevention, intervention, and treatment of child abuse. This special night will take place during Child Abuse Prevention Month on Friday, April 4th, 2025 at The Ritz Carlton in Sarasota. The program will be filled with inspiring moments and a shared commitment to supporting the transformational healing of victims of child abuse.More than a pretty title, the event is named ‘Blue Ties and Butterflies’ to recognize the blue ribbon (a national emblem for child abuse awareness and prevention) while the transformation of the butterfly symbolizes a child abuse victim's transformational journey from victim, to survivor, to one who thrives.
