To Native Americans, butterflies are considered symbols of transformation, hope and rebirth.
To a sea of 300 guests dressed in blue at its 11th annual Blue Ties and Butterflies event, Child Protection Center Executive Director Doug Staley said that’s one of the reasons why the CPC has adopted the animal as its mascot in its mission of ending child abuse and helping children heal from trauma.
The evening, which included a cocktail hour, dinner and a live auction April 10 at Michael’s On East, helped raise money for CPC’s continued efforts in the prevention, intervention and treatment of child abuse in the area.
