Events for 2012
 | Read Across America The National Education Association is building a nation of readers through its signature program, NEA’s Read Across America. Now in its thirteenth year, this year-round program focuses on motivating children and teens to read through events, partnerships, and reading resources. |
 | Summer Programs Fair The goal of the Summer Programs Fair is to provide families a one-stop shop for planning their child’s summer activities by giving families the opportunity to meet with program representatives, to gather information and plan their child’s summer activities. |
 | State of the Child The annual State of the Child Breakfast is a community wide event to publicly discuss the health and welfare of Onslow County’s children. During the Breakfast, the annual signing of the Pledge to Building a Brighter Future proclamation by local base, county, city and municipality leaders will take place. |
 | Guns N Hoses Golf Tournament This golf tournament is conducted by the Jacksonville Police and Fire Departments as a fundraiser for the Child Advocacy Center. |
 | Diamonds & Denim Diamonds & denim is the annual fundraiser for the Child Advocacy Center (CAC). The CAC provides an opportunity for children who have suffered physical or sexual abuse to begin the process of healing, to experience closure through the quick and efficient prosecution of perpetrators, to feel supported, and to develop resilience in the face of difficult circumstances. Through the work of a CAC, communities can show children who have suffered physical or sexual abuse that most adults are caring, supportive, and will work hard to protect them. Our goal is that children served by our local CAC will go on to be productive, happy, and functional adults who will protect future generations of children from abuse. |
 | Books for Kids Book Drive Books for Kids is an annual book drive to promote early literacy. The books collected are distributed to agencies and programs who will give the books directly to families and children so they can build their very own children’s library within the home Literacy, to a large degree, determines success. |
