Join MCCOY for a glass of wine in Fountain Square and learn how you can prevent child sexual abuse

47,000 Indianapolis children (1in 5) will be sexually abused before they reach 18 years old. That is enough kids to fill Victory Field 3 times. Or The Children's Museum 9 times.

Sadly, we have seen several national headlines about child sexual abuse these past few months. The bad news: many of these cases were preventable. The good news: many future cases can be prevented. By understanding the risk and putting practical safeguards in place, we can drastically reduce the cases of child sexual abuse in central Indiana. MCCOY is a local facilitator for the Stewards of Children program and we want to tell you about it!

In response to this ongoing tragedy, MCCOY and Huntington Bank invite you to “Take Courageous Action: Empowering Women to Protect Children from Sexual Abuse.

Ladies, come to this event on Thursday March 8th from 6-8pm to learn how you can protect all of the children in your life. Join other female community leaders at the New Day Meadery in Historic Fountain Square to learn about the Stewards of Children program and the 7 Steps that you can take to prevent sexual abuse.

Tickets are $20 and include wine tasting, gourmet cheese, and chocolate treats. Join us and take action! Click HERE to register or contact
