TYLA Joins Prevent Child Abuse Texas In Walk To Action
By: Kristy Sims Piazza

In support of Child Abuse Awareness Month, TYLA directors, along with members of the San Antonio Young Lawyers Association (SAYLA), participed in the Walk to Action benefiting Prevent Child Abuse Texas (PCAT). The Walk to Action was a 20 mile procession through San Antonio held on November 6, 2010. The 20 miles represented 40 thousand steps toward the day when every American will understand that each of us can stop child abuse. To participate, board members had to each raise $400.00 for the cause and each paid for their own travel expenses. All proceeds from the walk went to Prevent Child Abuse Texas. Board members in attendance also promoted TYLA’s newest project entitled “The Little Voice – Recognizing Child Abuse and Your Duty to Report It.” TYLA distributed materials about the project to all participants and hosted a booth at the event.
