“Bend’s St. Patrick’s Day Dash has raised thousands of dollars to support non-profits in Central Oregon, and we are excited to have KIDS Center as our beneficiary in 2016,” said Anna Robbins, Committee Chair of the St. Patrick’s Day Dash. “This is a great event for the entire family, a chance to dress up to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, and it benefits an organization that makes a profound impact on our community.”
KIDS Center, Central Oregon’s only child abuse intervention center, provides medical evaluations, forensic interviews, family support and therapy in a child-friendly environment, helping children and their families overcome the devastating impact of child abuse. Built by the community for the community, KIDS Center has been hearing, helping and healing children and families who have experienced child abuse for over 20 years.
