The Child Protection Center’s mission is the Prevention, Intervention, & Treatment of Child Abuse. We envision a community where children are safe from abuse and free to thrive.

About the Child Protection Center


Now entering its 45th year, the Child Protection Center provides life-saving services for children who are victims of child abuse. Serving Sarasota and DeSoto Counties through our three locations (Sarasota, North Port, and Arcadia), our extensive programming brings education, intervention services, and trauma-informed care to heal the hearts of survivors in the pursuit of our mission: the prevention, intervention, and treatment of child abuse.

CPC is accredited by the National Children’s Alliance, has been previously named Nonprofit of the Year by both the Sarasota and Venice Chambers of Commerce, and is a Best of Florida Regional Winner of 2024.

Your support of the Child Protection Center makes healing, safety, and hope possible for vulnerable children. Together, we can make a difference!

We’re shaking things up with this event, which will feature 8 local celebrity bartenders (each with their own specialty drink) divided into 4 teams competing to be named the Shaker Cup Champions.

Night of Hope and Healing

A relaxed event with tastings & cocktails from 12+ crowd-favorite restaurants, live music with the Occasions, casino games, meet & greet with PAWS therapy pups, chance drawing for a ladies ROLEX, and excellent live and silent auctions. All proceeds benefit the Child Protection Center and the fight against child abuse.

Tickets are now LIVE for a chance to win a Ladies ROLEX, thanks to the generosity of our dear friends at Classic Creations in Diamonds & Gold! The ROLEX itself will be present at both the Bartender Challenge and Night of Hope & Healing for guests to try on.

CPC Named Best of Florida Regional Winner

By bringing this awareness to our mission, more children are brought to safety and given the opportunity to heal- all because of YOU. We couldn’t be more grateful for this community, which is not only filled with compassion but also the drive to take concrete action and make a true difference.
