Thursday, April 22 - 8:00 a.m.

Jackson County’s Prosecutor is going to literally be on the run April 22.

Jean Peters Baker will be leaving the courthouse in downtown Kansas City at 8 o’clock that Thursday morning to set out on a 25-mile run to commemorate the 25th anniversary of—and to raise funds for—the Child Protection Center (CPC).

Jean will be Running 25 For not only the CPC.

She will also be Running 25 For…

• Child Abuse Awareness Month
  
  
• National Crime Victims’ Rights Week
  
  
• Brave individuals who've survived child abuse to become loving parents
  
  
• Difference makers who report abuse
  
  
• Community partners who help crime victims become crime survivors
  
  
• And her colleagues in the Prosecutor’s Office for whom being a Victim Advocate is a calling—not just a job

Donations

Donations for the run will go to support the Child Protection Center in Kansas City. The CPC, in addition to also providing mental health services, conducts forensic interviews of children who've been abused or who have witnessed violent crimes.
