Kendall Dunson, a shareholder in our firm, and his wife Samarria Munnerlyn Dunson, led an event recently at Super Suppers Montgomery to help raise awareness for Child Protect Children’s Advocacy Center. Kendall is on the Board of Directors for Child Protect and works regularly on its behalf. Jannah Bailey, executive director of Child Protect, said:

We are grateful beyond measure for the continued support Kendall Dunson and his wife, Samarria, unselfishly contribute to Child Protect. They truly have servants’ hearts and great passion for abused children that come through our doors every day. We could not continue our service to the least of these without their belief in our cause. They have left their handprints on the hearts of many of the children we serve.

Established in November of 1989, Child Protect was originally developed to aid the Department of Human Resources and law enforcement in their investigation of child abuse, both physical and sexual. Child Protect, which operates as a 501(c)3 non-profit agency, works for children. It has saved countless children from endless interrogations by creating an atmosphere where a child can tell his or her story once and have it recorded for future use. The fund-raising event consisted of a cooking demonstration, chef tasting and wine tasting to highlight local and seasonal produce in five different courses. All of the food was donated by the venue of the event, Super Suppers, located in the Peppertree Shopping Center off Vaughn Road.

During a presentation by Kendall on Child Protect, the importance of donations for Child Protect was emphasized. The donations go to child victims of physical, mental and sexual abuse. All attending the event donated to Child Protect Children’s Advocacy Center.
