Cinema through the Century Gala

The Luzerne County Child Advocacy Center is hosting our ninth annual gala entitled Cinema Through the Century. The gala will take place on Saturday, April 26th at the Westmoreland Club in Wilkes-Barre. The evening will include dinner, entertainment, and a silent auction all to benefit the children of Luzerne County!

The issue of child abuse has never been more important. Currently, in the United States, one out of every four girls and one out of every six boys will be sexually abused before they reach age 18. Ninety percent of sexual abuse happens at the hands of someone the child knows.

The Luzerne County Child Advocacy Center was founded in 2014. It is a private, non-profit organization whose mission is to protect all children who have become the victims of physical or sexual abuse. We provide free medical examinations and evidence collection, forensic interviews, and family advocacy services to each child and family who walks through our doors.
