Main Street Participates in 2024 Child Advocates’ Pull for Kids Classic Event
In April 2024, Main Street participated in Child Advocate’s Annual Pull for Kids Classic event for the fifth consecutive year. Child Advocates (http://www.childadvocates.org/) a nonprofit dedicated to advocating for abused and neglected children, mobilizes court-appointed volunteers to break the vicious cycle of child abuse by speaking up for children who are lost in the system and guiding them into safe environments where they can thrive..
The Pull for Kids Classic, now in its 32nd year, remains a crucial fundraising event for Child Advocates. Held at the American Shooting Centers, a company within the Main Street portfolio, the event features a sporting clays tournament and a silent auction, aiming to raise vital funds to support Child Advocates' programs and services.
Main Street and its employees not only contributed financially with a generous donation of $45,500, but they also dedicated their time to supporting the event. Through the Main Street Volunteer Time Off (VTO) program, four volunteers assisted in organizing and setting up the event. Furthermore, Main Street actively participated in the sporting clays tournament, fielding two teams totaling ten individuals. Ultimately, the team helped Child Advocates raise over $685,000, surpassing their fundraising goal and contributing to serving 1,350 children in 2024.
