About our Agency and the Gala
Child Advocates' 2008 gala celebrates its service to abused and neglected children in Silicon Valley. Join us for a special evening of stories and recognition. The evening of dinner, silent and live auctions and dancing is expected to raise more than $300,000 to support Child Advocates work. The Honorable Erica Yew will be our guest speaker. Come help us celebrate the children of our community!For over twenty years, volunteer Advocates have given many hours of their time to ensure that children have a stable, nurturing environment in which to grow and thrive. Child Advocate volunteers make a lifelong difference for abused and neglected children by serving as friends, mentors and Court Appointed Special Advocates.
