Last Giving Spree, our community raised nearly $40,000 to help child victims of abuse find hope and healing here in Adams County.

This year, Giving Spree is back on November 5, 2026. During the 24-hour giveathon, you can donate in person at Wyndham or online.

Help us build on last year’s momentum and ensure no child in our community walks through abuse alone. All donations support the expansion of the Brighter Tomorrows Center, allowing us to triple the number of children and families we serve.

What started as a center focused on serving child victims in Adams County has grown into a comprehensive network of services, expanding to include community outreach, trauma therapy, prevention education, and support for adult survivors of abuse.

With 20 years of progress and over 3,000 children served, we still have work to do, and you can be a part of it.

Today, you have an opportunity to strengthen the services we provide by supporting the new Brighter Tomorrows Center. Together, with your support, we're creating brighter tomorrows. See how: https://kidsagaincac.org/brightertomorrows/
