The Child Advocacy Center is sponsoring the "Turkey Tee Off" golf tournament on Saturday, November 10th, at Cedar Crest Golf Course, 7972 Mona Road. All of the proceeds will benefit children who have been abused. If you would like to be a sponsor, golfer, or make a contribution please contact the Child Advocacy Center at 867-9000.
Murfreesboro Police Chief Glenn Chrisman, said, “The mission of the Child Protective Investigative Team is to investigate and prosecute child abuse cases and help children and their families heal from the trauma and victimization of the abuse. The Turkey Tee Off provides a way for golfers to enjoy a beautiful day of golf and support the Child Advocacy Center and its mission of providing services to child abuse victims in Rutherford and Cannon Counties.”
Child abuse affects a significant number of children in our community. In the last 12 years, the Child Protective Investigative Team, which consists of the Child Advocacy Center, the Department of Children’s Services, law enforcement, and the District Attorney’s Office, have worked together to investigate and prosecute over 8,000 child abuse, child sexual abuse, and drug endangered children cases in Rutherford and Cannon Counties.
Executive Director Sharon De Boer, said, “The Child Advocacy Center is very grateful to Phillip and Steven Smith and Smith’s Painting for sponsoring this event supporting the Child Advocacy Center and the children and families we serve.”
