Land Donated to Fannin County Children’s Advocacy Center 07/02/19
By Christina Brown Sandy Barber and Steve Collida with the Fannin
County Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) were excited to make the announcement on Thursday, January 2, 2020
that Roy and Jan Reimer has donated an 8 acre tract of land for a new children’s center. The land is located
on Albert Broadfoot and Lee Street (across from the Warrior Baseball Fields and old Bonham Golf Club).The
dream of a new children’s center is now becoming reality as all the pieces to the puzzle are starting to fall into place. The next steps, among many, will be to find an architect and begin fundraising plans. The Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) provides a neutral, child-friendly agency that facilitates a multi-disciplinary team approach in the prevention, investigation, prosecution and treatment of child abuse to bring the offenders to justice and promote healing for the victims.

If you would like any additional information concerning CAC or CASA, or about becoming a court appointed advocate, visit www.fanninccc.org or call 866-583-KIDS.
