CULLMAN – The Cullman Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center has partnered with the Child Advocacy Center of Cullman, also known as Brooks’ Place of Cullman. As a part of the Chamber for Charities program, the final Business After Hours event of 2016 will feature a “Parade of Trees” – a fundraiser started in the early 90s. Local businesses will provide decorated Christmas trees and wreaths to be placed in our silent auction, available Nov. 12 – Dec. 1 during business hours (Monday – Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m.). Proceeds from this event will benefit Brooks’ Place of Cullman.
You may place your bids throughout the month of November and final bids will be accepted on Dec. 1 at our Business After Hours event held at the Cullman Area Chamber of Commerce. If you would like to register to attend, please call the Chamber to register or email info@cullmanchamber.org. Tickets for the event on Dec. 1 will be $15 for Chamber members and $20 for future members.
Brooks’ Place of Cullman provides a neutral, home-like setting where child victims of sexual and physical abuse may receive a wide-range of services including joint team interviews by the Department of Human Resources and law enforcement personnel; multi-disciplinary case review teams made up of representatives from the Alabama Department of Human Resources, law enforcement entities, mental and physical health, medical, the District Attorney and the child advocacy center; tracking of child abuse cases to assure that the children and their families receive the services they need; referrals for medical exams; and mental health counseling.
