Join Family Enrichment Center on March 26th for our annual Run/Walk for Children sponsored by German American Bank! The Run/Walk for Children is held at Ephram White Park and serves as a kick-off to April, which is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. This fundraiser has been the backbone event for the agency, raising over $50,000 each year. 100% of the net proceeds go back into our prevention programs such as our in-home parent education program, Little Learners, supervised visitation services and adoption support services The event consists of four races: a half-marathon, 5K run, 5K fun walk and a one-mile children’s run. All participants will receive a race T-shirt and our half marathon, 5K run and children’s race participants will receive a finisher medal.
You can be a part of our mission to promote healthy family functioning by registering for the event as a participant, volunteering on race day or making a donation at www.FamilyEnrichmentCenter.com/RunWalk.
WEAR BLUE FOR KENTUCKY KIDS ON APRIL 1st!
Child Abuse Prevention Month is a time for everyone to stop and think about how we as a community can help ensure children grow up healthy and free from harm. On April 1st at 10 AM in Fountain Square Park, we will be hosting a public proclamation, along with City and County officials, to recognize the start of this important month. We invite community members to join us at the proclamation and wear blue in support of Wear Blue for Kentucky Kids Day. We would love to see community members share photos of their families and/or workplaces dressed in blue by tagging #WearBlue4KYKids and Family Enrichment Center. To learn more about April Child Abuse Prevention Month festivities or how you can support FEC’s mission, visit www.FamilyEnrichmentCenter.com or call 270-781-6714.
Family Enrichment Center is supported by the Cabinet of Health and Family Services, the Face It Movement, Kappa Delta, Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky, United Way of Southern Kentucky, WHAS Crusade for Children and local businesses/community contributions.
