| Protect Austin Kids--Join the Center For
Child Protection Fundraising Events |
|
|
Every day, the Center serves approximately 3-5 new children who have either been physically abused, sexually abused, or have witnessed a violent crime. They arrive at the Center, bravely tell their story to a professional, and begin their journey to justice and healing. Without the support of the Travis County community, this opportunity wouldn’t be possible for these young victims.
Several TCMS physician members support this organization, including Past President and 2019 Physician of the Year, Dr. Pete Zamora, who sits on the Board of Directors.
With your support and advocacy, the Center is able to help more children and families every year. See how you can get involved.
