P.A.C.A. started as nothing more than a conversation in a living room late one night. A discussion was had about social issues and how the musical platform we had could be used to give back. Knowing what we know about child abuse in the state of Tennessee and having first hand experience with it, we decided to focus our efforts in that direction.
The chances that you know and love someone who has been impacted by child abuse and neglect are extremely high. According to Kids Count 2020, Tennessee had 67,158 cases of child abuse an neglect.
P.A.C.A. has created this September event to give back to the local charities and non-profts that work with children and teens that are at-risk or that have experienced abuse and neglect.. They are such a vital resource to our communities, especially the rural ones, that we wanted to give to someone that was making a real difference in their communities.
With this in mind, we have made the decision to keep none of the profits made from this event. Outside of our expense costs, every cent earned will be given to these organizations at the end of the weekend.
We’ve chosen three local and state non-profits that are the UC Foster Closet, STARS Nashville and CHANCE Youth Home for Girls.
The UC Foster Closet works hard to support its families by hosting and providing special events, establishing community support through foster friendly partners, and provide opportunities of fellowship with other foster/kinship families. CHANCE provides a safe, highly structured, therapeutic environment where each youth knows their value, and with compassion and perseverance, and relationship can be restored; providing an opportunity to change their lives and discover their strengths. This facility serves girls ages 12-18 in DCS custody and their families, primarily from the Upper Cumberland. STARS Nashville helps young people explore all their unlimited potential. They serve our most disenfranchised populations by providing school-based prevention and intervention services; as well as, intensive outpatient treatments for adolescents with substance use and/or co-occurring disorders.
