NASHVILLE PREDATORS FOUNDATION AWARDS LARGEST ONE TIME ALLOCATION IN TEAM HISTORY
The Child Advocacy Center of Rutherford County, Inc. is proud to be selected as a recipient of a 2017 Nashville Predators Foundation grant. The Child Advocacy Center was one of several Rutherford County organizations to receive funding.
On the heels of an exciting Stanley Cup playoff win, Predators President and Chief Executive Officer Sean Henry presented the check to Child Advocacy Center Development Coordinator Kristina Troglen.
“We are grateful to the Nashville Predators for their support,” said Sharon De Boer, Executive Director of the Child Advocacy Center. “The funding will be used to upgrade computer equipment for the Child Advocacy Centers in Rutherford and Cannon County.”
The Child Advocacy Center works as a multidisciplinary team with law enforcement, the District Attorney’s office, Department of Children’s Services, and mental health counselors to investigate and prosecute child abuse cases and help children and non-offending family members heal from the trauma of the abuse.
The money awarded will support the Child Advocacy Center’s continued mission to provide crisis intervention services free of charge to child abuse victims, child sexual abuse victims, drug endangered children, and their non-offending family members. Last year 1,630 individuals were assisted.
The Nashville Predators Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) charity organization devoted to funneling the excitement of professional sports towards the needs of the community. Since its establishment, the Nashville Predators Foundation has made a significant impact on the Middle Tennessee community. This year the Foundation awarded over $500,000, the largest one time allocation in team history.
