Adoption and Runaway Prevention On Friday, November 13th, at 5:30 p.m., the nonprofit organization, Advocates for Children, hosted a drive-in movie, presented by Harbin Clinic, at the LakePoint Sports Champion Center. The evening was filled with fun, family, and most importantly, awareness.
November is National Adoption Month and National Runaway Prevention Month. This free event aimed to raise awareness for these two causes while providing families with a safe way to connect with their community.
While parents and children waited for the movie, Instant Family, to begin, Deborah Mosher, owner of Bubbles Over Georgia, entertained families with fantastic and gigantic bubbles. LakePoint Sports also sold concessions to hungry movie-goers. Not only did LakePoint Sports provide the venue, but they donated 15% of concession sales to the organization as well! The Cartersville High School JROTC provided parking assistance, with almost 25 students volunteering for the event.
Additionally, 15 individuals from the community volunteered. When asked about the event, volunteer Natalie Jimenez said, “It was a fun experience! Everyone was friendly and really strived to make the entire event successful. It was all so wonderful, and this organization is really doing their best to make the community better.”
