With one in four girls and one in six boys falling victim to sexual abuse before they turn 18, the Clay House Children’s Center is an extremely valuable organization for many area youth and families.

Clay House Children’s Center would love for everyone to come out and enjoy the music while also learning about how you can help prevent child abuse. Clay House Children’s Center will be selling blue bows to be displayed by businesses and individuals showing their support for Child Abuse Prevention.

The Clay House Children’s Center is a nonprofit agency, initiated by the Bessemer Cut-Off District Attorney's Office.
