1 in 4 girls and 1 in 13 boys experience child sexual abuse.

Mission: To provide healing for children, adults and families affected by sexual assault and to end sexual violence through counseling, education and advocacy.

According to the CDC, about 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 13 boys experience child sexual abuse. The total lifetime economic burden of child sexual abuse in the United States in 2015 was estimated to be at least $9.3 billion.

Your gift to the Sexual Assault Center is a gift of hope and a gift of healing. Your help provides critical funding for therapy, advocacy, prevention and support throughout the community. Regardless of the size of the gift, you will help ensure that every person who comes to SAC receives the best possible care.

How will my gift make a difference?

$15 - helps provide technology to one therapist for video Telehealth therapy for one month.

$50 - is enough to provide play therapy supplies that help child sexual abuse survivors share their stories in an age and developmentally appropriate way.

$150 - helps provide an initial assessment and orientation to a new client. Survivors receive non-judgmental support, crisis intervention, and a trauma-informed welcome to SAC.

$250 - is enough to provide training and ongoing technical assistance to one bar/restaurant through our SAFE Bar program, which raises awareness around alcohol's role in sexual assault and engages bar owners and staff in bystander intervention.

$5,600 - The cost of just one Medical Legal Exam, commonly known as a rape kit, advocacy services and crisis intervention support in our SAFE Clinic.
