The "Children’s Festival" fundraiser is the first event that Jaden’s Ladder will hold that empowers children to help children. Children can be affected directly and indirectly by domestic violence. A child living in a domestic violence environment not only can suffer from direct abuse but can be hugely affected by any abuse that takes place in the home. With this event, Jaden’s Ladder hopes to raise the level of awareness about how domestic abuse impacts children. Jaden’s Ladder is dedicated to helping survivors as well as children of survivors reestablish their lives.
"We hope that the ‘Children’s Festival’ will provide kids with a fun way to get involved with our effort to help survivors of domestic violence overcome their challenges and embark on new beginnings," said Oneta Bobbett, Co-Founder and Program Director, Jaden's Ladder. "We look forward to a fun day for children of all ages and graciously thank our sponsors for their support of Jaden’s Ladder and the festival."
