During
the year we have several events that are important to both the Center and the
community. Be sure to keep up with what is going on and support these events
with your presence, your influence and your resources... after all, remember who
we are doing these things for... the children.
2009 Circles of Hope Telethon was a great success.
The team of
hosts this year included:
Doris "Cousin Tuny"
Freeman, Stan Perkins, Tom Britt, Keli McAlister, Conrad Delaney, Benji Wood, and Jimmy Hoppers.
The group interviewed special guests,
introduced entertainers, gvee updates of amounts pledged and
recognize contributors.
One of the most touching stories of the day, a young singer
performed and her father, who is serving in Iraq was able to
watch her on our website's live feed of the telethon.
He did text her later and told her how proud he was of her.
West Tennessee went above and beyond to help the centers
through out our communities to continue to provide free
services to families in need of help in dealing with Child
Abuse.
From all of us at the centers - we say Thank you for your
continued support.
2009 Circles of Hope Telethon, Sunday August 16, 2009
Broadcast Live on WBBJ ABC7 TV 1:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Dear Friends,
I am excited to announce that our 26th Circles of Hope Telethon for the Prevention of Child Abuse will be Sunday, August 16. I am looking to each of you to help us once again with monetary donations and volunteering of your time and talents. Because of your support the Center has served thousands of children and families. But the sad truth is there are many more that need to be served. The Center is currently serving children out of 18 locations in West TN, but there are still more counties in which we are not able to provide service for financial reasons. With your continued support we can help our existing children and families and extend that service to many more families.
The theme for this year's Circles of Hope Telethon is, "The Reality is... Somewhere there's a Child." Unfortunately, that is the sad truth. I am thankful for the professionals that we have on staff at the Center that work with our children and families to make a difference in their lives. I am honored to help raise money for the continuance of our programs. Please join me in this effort and let's work to eliminate this reality for a child somewhere...
On behalf of the Board, Staff and Volunteers with the Exchange Club Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse we thank you for your past support. I look forward to your continued support as we work diligently to make a difference in the lives of many children and protect them from the reality of child abuse.
God Bless, Tawnya Moore
2009 Chairperson
Circles of Hope Telethon
Making a Real Difference... One Child, One Family at a Time
Three Ways YOU can Make a Difference
Give: Making a gift is a personal and active way to
help. Giving demonstrates that YOU believe in who we are and
what we are doing to help children. It also shows that YOU
want to be part of making a difference in your community. No
matter the size, every dollar raised allows us the
opportunity to continue to offer services at no cost to
children and families.
Volunteer: The telethon would not be possible without
the combined effort of hundreds of volunteers from across
West Tennessee. If you are interested in volunteering. Volunteers
work in every capacity including, stage set up and teardown,
clerical, and answering phones. We can always find something for you to help with
during the telethon. To volunteer of find out more contact
