We regret to announce that due to COVID-19 our 2020 All Hallows Gala fundraiser for The Green Bear Project has been cancelled. The health and safety of everyone... involved in our mission is critical and we want all our donors, volunteers, and staff to remain healthy. Thanks to everyone who attended our 2019 All Hallows Gala over 16,000 southeast Missouri children were provided child abuse prevention education this year through Green Bear. That’s 16,000 students who learned how to recognize abuse, when and how to report, ways to stay safe online, and much more. Thank you to everyone who attended and donated! With our world changing so dramatically in the past 6 months we know that the abuse prevention messages we share with school aged children are more vital than ever. When families become increasingly isolated, stressed and economically unstable, the incidence of abuse often rises. Without access to education on personal safety and reporting, kids in southeast Missouri are at an increased risk of harm. So, how do we fund and deliver this year’s program? Green Bear’s format will become virtual to ensure access to all children in our area without losing any of the important messaging. We will be working with a local creative company to record the presentations, making them interactive to keep kids engaged. This process will be expensive - but necessary - to reach the thousands of students in our area. This is why your financial support is critical! Our goal is to raise $20,000 to fund the Green Bear Program this year. Can we count on you? A contribution of $20 will allow us to teach 10 southeast Missouri children that if abuse occurs it is not their fault. $50 will help us educate 25 junior high students about staying safe in pre-dating situations. $100 will ensure that 50 early elementary aged children learn abduction prevention techniques. On behalf of the students in southeast Missouri we want to thank you for your past support and for assisting us with this year’s campaign. We can’t do it without your help!

Additionally, we recognize that this is not always put into practice in our country and that there is much room for growth. As an agency we commit to doing our part to promote anti-racism and equal rights for all.
