***CHANGED TO VIRTUAL EVENT AT NOON SEPT. 10*** – Because of the growing concerns surrounding COVID-19 and the safety of our community, Children’s Advocacy Center of Benton County has made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s in-person Annual Dinner & Awards Presentation. Instead, it will be live streamed through Facebook at noon on September 10 as we go #BeyondTheBallroom to raise funds and awareness for children within the community!
As you – all of our friends and supporters – may know, the Dinner generates an incredible amount of awareness and funds needed for children to bravely share their stories. Now more than ever, children throughout our community need YOU to recognize and respond to their cries for help. Behind closed doors, tensions are heightened for a multitude of reasons, predators have 24/7 access, and children fall victim to both.
While we are not able to gather together in person this year, we invite you to save the date and join us virtually!

Here’s what to expect at this year’s event:

Walk where you are! We will not be gathering at the Pinnacle Hills Promenade Mall in Rogers; instead, we encourage you to walk in your neighborhood, local park, or wherever else you’re able to socially distance with your family, friends, and team members.
In early August, we will have an updated mobile app Google Play or Apple App Store that will allow you to track your steps, post pictures directly to social media, earn badges, download social media filters, and so much more. If you haven’t already, be sure to download the app today.
Together we will set a collective step goal for the Northwest Arkansas MORE THAN PINK Walk. You can take your steps a little at a time, or all at once on event day.
Remember to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter so you can connect with others who share your passion to take action against breast cancer.
And on the event day, Sept. 12 at 10 a.m., connect with your Komen community online for a day of inspiration. Trust us, you won’t want to miss this interactive and moving time for all participants.

Register for the walk here. For more details, visit www.komenozark.org.
