SUMMARY:
Attached for consideration is a request for support of the Pueblo Child Advocacy Center

during the month of April 2025.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Council sponsored this campaign in 2023 for $1,000.
BACKGROUND:
In an effort to bring an end to the child abuse epidemic, Pueblo Child Advocacy Center
(PCAC) is organizing a campaign during the month of April in honor of National Child
Abuse Prevention Month in lieu of our annual Gala. This is an ongoing initiative we hope
continues to raise awareness about child abuse and prevention, while also reminding the
community about how we serve the most vulnerable. We are proud of what we have
accomplished since our inception in 1986 and look forward to a brighter future for our
children with community partners like YOU.
PCAC offers high-quality care so abused children can thrive. The Center is a homelike,
child-friendly environment where a coordinated team of experts in forensic interviewing,
medical, law enforcement, victim advocacy, mental health, child protective services, and
other disciplines come together to empower children and strengthen families while
holding offenders accountable.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Payment of funds in the amount of $1000 would be paid from the Council Contingencies
Account in the 2025 General Fund Budget to the Pueblo Child Advocacy Center.
