Story

My daughter Logan's plate is so full I'm afraid she might "Go Over The Edge". Logan Aguirre is the new owner and publisher of all the 417 Magazines (Home, Bride, Biz 417, etc) as well as the 2021 Chair of the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce. She's also wife to Dave Aguirre, mother to Lucy and Cruz and primary caregiver to golden lab Captain. With all she has to do, she has now also volunteered to go "Over The Edge" to raise money for the the Child Advocacy Center. And I knew she was losing it when she asked me to join her! So I've reluctantly agreed, first to honor Logan's request and second to help the Child Advocacy Center.

The Child Advocacy Center provides services such as Child at Risk Exams, Sexual Assault Forensic Exams and Forensic Interviews. These services allow a child the chance to tell their story. Many children have NOT been safe at home during the COVID-19 crisis, and are in need of these services to become safe and begin a pathway toward healing. Please consider making a donation to sponsor my down-the-wall walk at this year's Over The Edge event. With your help, we can continue to provide our critical services to the vulnerable children in our community.

Instagram bonus: I'll take you with me! Everyone who donates to sponsor me going "Over The Edge" will have their name printed large on a custom shirt I will wear on the way down.
