The Child Protection Center received the “Community Hero” award from 1 Community 1 Team in partnership with Sarasota Ford. The award was given for Child Abuse Prevention Month in April.
The 1 Community 1 Team outreach project, funded by Sarasota Ford, partners with Sarasota organizations in order to bring awareness “by spotlighting the stories of amazing people, their hard work, and the impact and sacrifices they make every day,” said Sally Ratner, the 1 Community 1 Team Outreach Liaison.
“Through ‘The Hero of the Month’ program, our production team honors nonprofits, community driven organizations and local individuals, Ratner said. Our mission is to recognize these heroes that go above and beyond by selflessly giving back and inspiring others to also make a difference through positive change.”
