Hope Starts Here – With YOU!

At Denver Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC), we believe that every child deserves to grow up in a safe, supportive environment where they feel belonging and hope. Yet thousands of Colorado children experience abuse every year. In fact, 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 13 boys experience sexual abuse. And most don’t tell anyone for years—if ever. Our children need us to speak up, step up and show up. 

DCAC prevents child abuse, strengthens families, advocates for children who have suffered abuse and works tirelessly to ensure all children have the childhood they deserve–one filled with optimism, joy, and happiness. 

Our Hope Starts Here campaign raises awareness about child abuse, provides education about how to prevent child abuse and inspires others to show up for children who need us. But we can't start hope here without you. We need your support this April and always.

Other Ways To Help

Not interested in fundraising? No problem! Here are three other things you can do: 

  1. Share information about child abuse prevention. Reshare our social media posts (Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn) or create your own. Talking about child abuse isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. 

  2. See something, say something. Every case of reported abuse is taken seriously and investigated. Often children don’t know how to speak up. Be their voice. 

  3. Make a donation. Every dollar makes a difference. Give today.
