Light of Hope Awareness Project
Stake Removal:
April 30, 2011, 9 am
Victorian Village Park, across from 616 Adams
In honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month every April, Memphis CASA erects the Light of Hope Awareness Project to bring attention to the issue of child abuse and the need for child advocates in our community. White stakes with blue ribbons attached are planted in Victorian Village Park, each stake representing a child who has been abused or neglected in Shelby County. This year, the annual "Stake Day," on which volunteers come out to the park to hammer in the stakes, will begin with a kick-off ceremony. After the ceremony, volunteers will plant over 3,000 stakes. The sea of white stakes stand throughout the month of April. We invite volunteers to come out again on April 30 at 9am to help us take down the stakes.
To volunteer for Stake Removal, call the CASA office at (901) 522-0200.
