On Sunday, May 20, 2012, the West Michigan Whitecaps will honor National Child Abuse Prevention Month by donating $0.50 from each individual ticket sold to the Children's Assessment Center. All proceeds will be used to provide essential services for children who have been sexually abused in Kent County. Tickets for the 1:00 p.m. game can be purchased from the West Michigan Whitecaps box office or at www.whitecapsbaseball.com. No special code is needed.

One in three girls and one in seven boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday. Most victims are assaulted multiple times, and over 90% are abused by someone they know, love, and trust. In one, child-friendly building, the Center provides community assessments, forensic interviews, medical examinations, crisis counseling, long-term therapy, court support, and victim advocacy for all suspected victims of child sexual abuse. All services are provided at no cost to children or their families.
