Mark your calendars for September 27, 2025. An unforgettable night of adventure awaits at the luxurious Airport Marriott, as The Advocates present Safari Soirée, “An Untamed Adventure,” a high-energy gala benefitting the Northern Kentucky Children’s Advocacy Center (NKYCAC).

Adventure into an exotic evening of delicious cuisine, vibrant entertainment, and electrifying music from Naked Karate Girls that’s guaranteed to keep you dancing all night long.

The Advocates are a dynamic, philanthropic group of community leaders founded by Kimberly Carlisle. Many are from Triple Crown and passionately champion NKYCAC’s mission. This year’s Gala Chairs, Katie Irwin, Candyse Jeffries, and Diane Kidd, lead the charge to raise vital funds and awareness for child protection and healing services across Northern Kentucky.

We are proud to recognize Commonwealth Inc. as our Presenting Sponsor, and to honor Hollaender Manufacturing Company and Marc Cetrulo for their outstanding contributions to the community and support of NKYCAC.

NKYCAC serves children who have experienced sexual or physical abuse, trafficking, or witnessed violent crimes. Through compassionate care and a child-focused approach, the Center offers evaluation, treatment, and prevention services to ensure safety, support healing, and empower non-offending caregivers.

NKYCAC’s Mission: to provide a coordinated response to concerns of child abuse in a child-focused environment, offering prevention, evaluation and treatment to children and families. NKYCAC’s Vision: to keep children safe from abuse and when abuse occurs, to work with our community to bring healing to these children and their families.
