SCAN hosted more than 150 people at its first annual Pinwheel Gala fundraiser on April 28 at the Parkview Mirro Center. The event recognized the importance of Child Abuse Prevention Month and celebrated the work our community does to create safer, happier childhoods. The night was filled with memorable moments from presenting the inaugural Champion for Children award to Dr. Tony GiaQuinta, to listening to Ashley C. Ford, Fort Wayne native and author of New York Times bestselling memoir, “Somebody’s Daughter,” share her experiences and hopes with Terra Brantley. SCAN raised $177,000 to support vital child abuse prevention programming in the community.
