Works of Heart Works for the Kids

Works of Heart is more than a show of remarkable artwork by leading regional artists. It is more than an auction that is as exhilarating as a day at the races. It is even more than a fantastic party with all its midtown flair. Works of Heart is a fabulous, festive way you help us help kids. The big event will be held at the Memphis College of Art on Saturday, February 11 at 7 pm. Click here for tickets.

Stewards of Children: Strengthen your organization, keep kids safe

Child sexual abuse can happen in any setting where there are kids. But research shows that evidence-based training for adults, along with well-informed policy, goes a long way in keeping children safe. We offer proven training and consultation to help your school, community organization, or place of worship protect kids from hidden dangers. For more information, contact Carol Drake at 901-888-4363 or cdrake@memphiscac.org. Click here for information about our revolutionary Stewards of Children program. Also, check out the article about Stewards in the Commercial Appeal. The actions you take today may help save a child from unimaginable, undeserved suffering.

 

Children’s Memorial Flag flies for 2 children 

On Thursday, December 29, at 11 AM we gathered to raise the Children’s Memorial Flag for two children: Adrien Hickerson and Anaya Jones.  



Adrien Hickerson was just 21 months old when he died. Adrien’s mother, Sabrina Hickerson, has been charged in his death. His father, Gary Hickerson, was charged with failing to take action to protect his son.

Anaya Jones was 6 months old when she died at the hands of her uncle, Ronnie Wilkerson. He has been charged with murder.

 

Thanks to all who attended in person or in spirit to memorialize these young lives lost, and to honor those who work on the front lines. While it seems especially sad to memorialize these children during the holiday season, we consider it a call to action for the New Year.
