The Children's Advocacy Center in 2016 was able to acquire a service dog, and that, according to their leader, was probably the highlight to 2016.

Joc, the CAC's black lab, is a specially trained and licensed service dog that will help children in McLean County who are in the CAC system. Executive Director Judy Brucker says Joc changes the way they feel about the situation they face.
 
 
According to Brucker, a new partnership with McLean County allows for more clarity between the CAC and the fundraising arm of the organization, the Child Protection Network.
 
 
Brucker says they hope to strengthen the relationships and partnerships in place already and is hopeful they can expand their funding sources this year as well, thanks to more funding that could come available through the federal government.
