As we wrap up another incredible year of life-saving work, we want to thank you for joining us in the fight to keep children safe and help survivors heal. Together, we’ve accomplished so much, and it’s all because of your support.
Here’s a look at some of what we accomplished together in 2024:
Walk in My Shoes: Thank you to everyone who joined thousands of survivors, advocates, and community members in this year’s 2024 Walk in My Shoes—a journey across Florida from Key West to Tallahassee. Together, we raised awareness about child sexual abuse and shared stories of hope and healing.
Walk in My Shoes 2025: Mark your calendars for April 2025—we’ll be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Walk in My Shoes! Whether you walk a block, a mile, or more, we hope you’ll be part of this important milestone. Check out the preliminary schedule here.
New Safety Sing-Alongs: Our Safer, Smarter Kids program has been teaching kids about personal safety for over a decade…and now we’ve added even more fun, FREE, educational resources online with new Safety Sing-Alongs!
These songs and videos are available on the Safer, Smarter Kids YouTube channel, a trusted resource for kids and parents.
Gracie Awards: Plus, our Safety Sing-Along videos were honored with a National Alliance for Women in Media Gracie Award in Beverly Hills alongside Carol Burnett, Kristin Wiig, Jane Fonda, and more!
In the News:
