Welcome to the Child Advocacy Center's 15th Annual Signature Fundraiser!

Gainesville Gone Wild...West
Thursday, October 26, 2023
6:30pm to 9:30pm
Santa Fe River Ranch

We are looking forward to gathering with friends and supporters of the Child Advocacy Center (CAC) for our 15th Annual Signature Fundraiser - Gainesville Gone Wild...West on Thursday, October 26, 2023 from 6:30pm to 9:30pm at Santa Fe River Ranch in Alachua! This will be an amazing night of country glam fringe and lace, sit-down dinner, signature drink, live music, and debut of the newest video to celebrate the CAC and reflect on the impact the CAC has had on the thousands of abused and neglected children in our community over the past year.

During 2022, the CAC served a total of 3,716 children and caregivers. Of those, 1,235 were new cases, 66 were human trafficking cases, 800 were physical abuse cases, 1,019 were sexual abuse cases, and 252 required a specialized forensic interview.

Thanks to generous supporters like you, we were able to raise over $175,000 at last year's event! We are committed to making Gainesville Gone Wild...West our most successful event yet! The funds provided this year will support operations and the growth required within the CAC to help more children and continue to work to meet our mission – to meet the needs of abused children in our community.
