Snowflakes - Unique and fragile like our children is the theme for the Child Advocacy Center of Sedgwick County's first annual Snowflake Ornament! Each year a new and unique snowflake ornament will be made available for purchase. The snowflake represents the child abuse victims in our community.

With a minimum donation of $15, you will receive our 2008 Snowflake ornament and provide $10 of financial support to the CACSC. If you choose to make the donation in honor of someone special, the ornament becomes a unique gift for the honoree. We can even mail the ornament for you -- the Snowflake will arrive in a special gift card that  that lets the recipient know that your donation is in their honor!

Watch our website for updates that include the locations of  our Snowflake Ornament booths, and the dates and times we’ll be open! If you'd like to order your Snowflake by mail, click on the link below, print and fill out the form, and tuck in your donation and mail it to us. We'll mail your receipt to you and the ornament will be mailed either to you or to your honoree (if that information is provided) within the first week of December.
