Serve for Kids is an Annual Event to Prevent Child Abuse.

Dear Serve for Kids Patrons, Sponsors, and Supporters,

Thank you for your generous support of Serve for Kids over the past 12 years. We want to share an important update regarding this year’s event and recent changes at Community Healing Centers (CHC).

Due to significant state and federal funding reductions, CHC has been forced to close several programs, including the S.T.R.E.E.T. and Niñas del Corazon mentoring programs supported by Serve for Kids.

Fortunately, the Bill Wright Children’s Advocacy Center will remain open and continue providing critical services to children affected by abuse and crime. The need for this work remains great, and your past support has made a meaningful difference.

Because of the organizational changes at CHC, the Serve for Kids committee will not host its annual event in October 2026. While we are disappointed to pause this tradition, we remain committed to supporting the Bill Wright Children’s Advocacy Center and look forward to returning in 2027.

In place of sponsoring this year’s event, we invite you to make a donation directly to the Bill Wright Children’s Advocacy Center using the Donate button above.

Thank you for your continued partnership and generosity. We look forward to seeing you again in 2027!

With gratitude,

The Serve for Kids Committee

Why sponsor Serve for Kids?

13 cases of child abuse and neglect are reported every day in Kalamazoo County. As a sponsor of Serve for Kids, you are personally and directly making a difference in the lives of children and families in our community who have been affected by the traumas of abuse and neglect. Every dollar raised stays local, and is put to work immediately benefiting those who need it most.

Funds raised at Serve for Kids allow Community Healing Centers to offer their services to children who have been sexually or physically abused at NO COST to families, for as long as they need it.
