Sweetheart Soiree Huge Success

Rebecca Peevy, the Executive Director of the Children’s Advocacy Center in Paris, Reported that the Sweetheart Soiree Gala benefitting the organization far surpassed this year’s goal of $70,000. Working with local law enforcement, the center served 350 abused children in Lamar and Red River counties in 2021 alone, providing everything from forensic interviews to helping relocate children to family members or foster homes. Nearly $85,000 was raised in donations and through silent and live auctions.
