It only takes one caring adult to change a child’s life. Tragically, one in nine children will experience abuse before their 18th birthday. You can help children feel safe and brave by recognizing the signs - and by being their one person.

During April’s Child Abuse Prevention Month, more than 500 motorcyclists come together for the Annual Great Teddy Bear Run. Hundreds of teddy bears are collected and donated to children from ten counties served by the Barren River Area Child Advocacy Center: a place where children receive trauma-informed care, compassionate support, and expert services from a multidisciplinary team dedicated to stopping abuse, supporting healing, and strengthening the prosecution of offenders.

Can’t ride but still want to help? There are many ways to get involved.

  1. Become an event sponsor

  2. Gather a group to help with event preparation

  3. Donate supplies like water, sodas, and snacks

  4. Help cover event costs such as tents, porta-a-potties, and other necessities

  5. Host a training for adults in your community
