Heroes Without Capes Awards Night
Join us for Heroes without Capes 2023!
The Heroes Without Capes Awards event honors the people in our community who help protect children from abuse. The Children’s Advocacy Center has worked for over 25 years to ensure abuse ends and healing begins, but we know that it takes all of us to make that vision a reality. Awardees show us what it means to take on responsibility for safety, healing and compassion for children, while also ensuring accountability for abusers. The evening will be entertaining and elegant … a true celebration of the heroic, everyday efforts that make our community a safer place for children.
The event will be held at La Paloma Resort. View foyer and ballroom where event will be held.

Thank you Tucson Electric Power
Thank to our friends at TEP for a generous $10,000 donation to upgrade the technology in our conference/training room. Providing trainings and parent support classes virtually during COVID made us realize that the technology we were working with with was very outdated. Thanks to TEP we are able to bring all that up to date! Work is about to begin to upgrade this technology to better serve our clients and partners. Keep watchin for updates.
