2026 Champions For Hope events raised over $10,000.00!

WOWZA! What a month for Sunflower Children's Collective! Our community really came together to support us so that we can continue supporting kids in our communities!

The support from you, means that we can continue to offer free advocacy services for children who are or have suffered from abuse. These events helped money for our mission and raised awareness for the mission of Sunflower Children's Collective! With both CASA and the CAC having busy summers, we are serving a lot of children!

Our Champions For Hope events ranged from donations to events like learning how to play Mahjong, Art sales, sale of DVD's and even bake sales!

We want to extend our sincere THANK YOU to everyone who helped create an event or attended an event to help make this first year such an outstanding success!
