The purpose of the Big Balloon Build ® is to utilize the power of balloon décor to raise awareness and funds to help advocate for children and youth in our community. To stop child sexual abuse and begin the road to healing accomplish the important work of the CASA Program, recruiting and training CASA volunteers to.
The Big Balloon Build ® is an important way community members can support Life Stories in their work to provide help, hope, and healing to child victims of abuse. When more are aware of the problem of child abuse, more can be done to keep our children safe.
It is about MAKING A DIFFERENCE! For Life Stories, that means they will be raising funds to help continue offering their services, free of charge, to children who need them and educating the public about child abuse prevention. It also gives Life Stories a unique platform to bring light to the dark subject of child abuse. Come have fun and enjoy this incredible experience and know that just by attending, YOU are making a difference!
