Angel Rock Project of the Month

Support Champions for Children

Every day, nearly four children in this country die as a result of child abuse in the home.
Every day, more than 27,000 children in this country are exposed to domestic violence.
Every day, a child somewhere in your community lives in fear.

Some of the most prominent figures in the entertainment, philanthropic and business communities are lending their support and raising their voice to end childhood violence.

The Champions for Children Committee, chaired by Malaak Compton-Rock, is dedicated to protecting children and restoring hope. Members include Marion Wright Edelman, Emme, Iman, Mariska Hargitay, Holly and Rodney Peete, Kelly Ripa, Susan Sarandon, Lee and Bob Woodruff and many others.
