Annual Report
Mission Statement
Children’s Advocacy Center for the 31st Judicial District delivers exceptional services to
victims of severe child abuse. Our team directly reduces the trauma from abuse, through
our provision of a well-coordinated multi-disciplinary investigation. We vigorously fight to
break the cycle of child abuse by providing prevention services through education.
Children’s Advocacy Center for the 31st Judicial District PO Box 7287 – 1350 Sparta Street
Every child abuse victim who receives our direct services does so totally free from charge. We are financially dependent upon grants, corporate contributions, and the generosity of
others.
Contribution Levels:
$1800 provides 12 sessions of Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavior Counseling for one child
$1000 provides Forensic Interview and Victim Advocacy for one child
$500 provides a month of Victim Advocacy and Counseling for one child abuse victim
$250 provides one term of Support Counseling for a non-offending caregiver or child sexual
abuse victim
$100 provides Stewards of Children education to 7 adults
$50 provides beverages and snacks for two months
Financial contributions may be made in Memory of someone special or in Honor of a
special occasion. A tastefully elegant card will be sent to the intended recipient
acknowledging that “a contribution has been made to help protect the children of the 31st
Bank, Walmart Sparta and everyone who made this great day reality.
School Education Programs:
You Have Power: 5500 Pre-K through 8th Grade students at each school in Warren County and in Van Buren
were delightfully entertained during these 30-minute assembly presentations. We impart basic right to safety
knowledge and where to turn if child abuse occurs. This year’s program was created & performed by
Chattanooga Kids on the Block with assistance from District Attorney Lisa Zavogiannis and Robin Cutrell.
It’s OK to Tell: CAC31 Prevention Specialist, Robin Cutrell spent 1-hour in every 5th Grade classroom in
both counties. Over 500 students were further educated to better understand abuse, empowered to stand up
for themselves and what to do if they or someone they know
becomes a victim of child abuse.
My Body Belongs to Me: Warren and Van Buren County
School Districts authorized a program to educate all parents
of registered Pre-K students in child abuse prevention. 286
adults were shown a brief cartoon video clip depicting a
child’s disclosure of sexual abuse and how to appropriately
react. They were further armed with information on signs of
abuse, how to react, and where to report. Parents were
encouraged to start teaching their children about private
body parts now and continue with age appropriate personal
safety conversations in the future.
Sexting Seriously Risky: Our newest program was
designed to reach middle school and freshmen students.
Robin Cutrell, CAC31 Prevention Specialist and Warren County Sheriff Investigator, Jason Rowland created
this presentation to educate young people on the long-term ramifications of sexting. 150 members of the
freshman health class at Warren County High were the first recipients of this seminar.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the employees of Jarden Consumer Solutions
for acknowledging the importance of educating our community about child abuse
prevention and to JCS Community Fund for underwriting the costs of our Community
Outreach and Education Program.

Kids Funfest and Safety Day - April 25, 2015
This event is a collaboration of the City of McMinnville CAC31, Families in Crisis New Beginnings,
Kids of Community and McMinnville Jaycees along with area businesses committed to the betterment of our children.
CAC31 is merely the custodian of these restricted use funds and records for Kids Funfest and Safety Day. All funds raised
are dedicated exclusively to the annual production of this free day of wholesome family fun. Our mission is to provide
education, physical activity, entertainment, and a meal to area children at no charge. A crowd of about 800 enjoyed a
slightly dreary yet fabulous day of safety and education disguised as free food and good fun. This year’s addition of the
Spring Olympics Games allowed us to incorporate families with special needs.
Kids Funfest and Safety Day epitomizes the amazing things that happen when a group of like-minded organizations band
together for communal good. This event was possible because of those who dedicated countless hours to planning, those
who committed financially, and all the organizations that volunteered their time on a highly coveted Saturday to provide
activities or food for the children.
