This year’s theme is Somewhere there’s a Child – Child abuse is Real, Tragic, Preventable. The Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse is asking the community to get involved and join the team so that we can get help to these children. This year is also National Exchange Club’s 100 year anniversary of service to our country.

“We are using the poem One Hundred Years from Now…. One hundred years from now nobody will remember who we were, what we did, or how much money we had, but the world may be a little different and a little better because we were important in the life of child. You are important in the life of a child. To remind our community what is really important, our children, and that getting involved with the Telethon can help prevent child abuse, ” said Anita Hamilton, 2011 Circles of Hope Telethon Chairperson. “The 28th Annual Circles’ of Hope Telethon is the primary fund raiser for the Exchange Club Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse.
