Night at the Derby is our annual fundraising gala to support The Saville Center. We rely heavily on the generosity of our community to sustain our programs and services. At The Saville Center, our mission is to facilitate the protection, prevention, and healing of victims of child abuse and to promote the health of families in our community. Our calm and child-friendly environment lessens the fears a child might face in telling their story of abuse. We offer free services to families, including forensic interviews, medical maltreatment exams (or sexual assault exams), victim and family advocacy, mental health counseling, multidisciplinary team case review, and court school.  In 2022, we served over 415 children and provided over 775 free services.

I know many people cannot imagine having to look in a child’s eyes after they have endured physical, emotional, and sexual abuse let alone hear their gut-wrenching stories day in and day out. I work alongside talented and passionate individuals and believe that what Saville does every single day is a necessity and a true asset to our community. If you find it in your heart to donate it would mean the world to me and we hope that you will sleep a little easier knowing these services exist in your community.
