Recently, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) presented Child Enrichment Inc. with a $20,000 contribution to sponsor its “Cookin’ for Kids Oyster Roast” at the Columbia County Fair Grounds in Grovetown, Georgia.

Child Enrichment Inc. supports local children who are victims of abuse, neglect and exploitation in the Augusta Judicial Circuit (Richmond and Burke Counties), the Columbia County Judicial Circuit (Columbia County) and six additional counties in Georgia.

“Child Enrichment is dedicated to providing a voice and a path forward to children and families in our community that have experienced abuse, neglect or child sex trafficking,” said Executive Director of Child Enrichment Inc. Kari Viola-Brooke.

Through its three programs, the Child Advocacy Center, Court Appointed Special Advocates Program, and Prevent Child Abuse Greater Augusta, the organization has found safe permanent homes and provided counseling, forensic interviewing and court advocacy for over 1,100 child abuse victims.

“We are proud to support an organization whose mission is to support children and families in our community who have experienced abuse. It’s our way of giving back and ensuring these families have the resources and support they need to heal and thrive,” said SRNS Senior Vice President, Workforce Services and Talent Management Francine Burroughs who presented the check to the organization.

Since 2019, SRNS has contributed $115,000 to support the organization’s mission. This year, they were the largest donor of the event, earning the title of Premier Signature Sponsor.

“The generous support from SRNS allows us to continue providing advocacy and therapy services, at no cost, to over 1,100 children each year. With your partnership, we are able to ensure that no child has to go through this journey alone, that every child has an advocate, and that every child has the chance to heal and thrive,” said Brooke.
