Sacks for Kids

Child Guidance Center (“CGC”) has been matched with the Defensive Line of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Performance Program for a second consecutive year! This program is called Sacks for Kids and is coordinated through the Community Relations Department of the Jaguars. For every sack caused by the Jaguar Defensive Line during regular season play, the supporting company, business, group and/or individual donates $75.00 to CGC. Last year’s total of Quarterback Sacks caused by the Jaguars’ Defensive Line was 21. Based upon those results, supporters can expect to donate approximately $1,575 during the 2005/06 season.


On May 5, 2005 our Sacks for Kids partners attended the Jaguars Plays for a Purpose Reception at Alltel Stadium.	Drew Hampton, Equipment Manager, provides a behind-the-scenes tour of the players’ locker room.

The mission of Child Guidance Center is to provide quality mental health and social services to children and their families. CGC is the largest provider of outpatient and community-based mental health and behavioral services to children, adolescents, and their families in Jacksonville. Last year we helped more than 3,600 children and over the past 53 year history of serving Northeast Florida, we have helped many more. Any child can come to CGC, regardless of ability to pay for the service, and receive assistance. Over ninety percent of our consumers are indigent or lower income.
