Dallas Fort Worth, Texas (PRWEB) April 6, 2010

Dallas / Fort Worth mattress (http://www. sleepexperts. com) retailer Sleep Experts is lending a helping hand to Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC) during National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Throughout April, the company is donating a portion of proceeds from every mattress sale (http://www. sleepexperts. com/mattress-sale/) to DCAC and is supporting a public awareness campaign to help educate and empower North Texans to join the fight to prevent child abuse.

“At the very heart of Sleep Experts is a commitment to helping families in need through partnerships with the great nonprofit organizations serving our community,” said Christine Cook, wife, mom and president of Sleep Experts (http://www. sleepexperts. com). “This month we dedicate our efforts to supporting DCAC and their mission to improve the lives of abused children in Dallas County and provide national leadership on child abuse issues.”

“Each year, nearly 6,000 children are victims of child abuse in Dallas County,” said Lynn Davis, president and chief executive officer of Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center. “Each of us has a role to play in creating a community in which EVERY child is safe from harm. We encourage everyone this month to learn more and help us spread the word about preventing child abuse.”

Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center is a nonprofit public/private collaboration that provides a coordinated, multi-agency approach to the investigation, intervention, and treatment of child sexual and physical abuse. DCAC provides education and resources to parents and the community, as well as therapy and support for abused children and their families. For more information visit http://www.
