Shine for Advocacy will hold its 2nd Annual Recognition Luncheon in April which is National Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month. This luncheon helps raise awareness of child abuse in our communities and benefits the Hill Country Children's Advocacy Center. It unites the voices of influence and advocacy awareness of the communities they serve to achieve the ultimate goal of safety, justice and healing for the children of the Hill Country.
