In February, we will celebrate the 26th annual Hope Grows Here Dinner Auction.

While the event is nearing capacity, we encourage you to participate in the online auction through Thursday, February 5, at 7:00 pm.

All proceeds from the auction and the event will provide support services to Lowcountry children and families where there are concerns of abuse. All Dee Norton clients receive our services free of charge.

Brief History of Hope Grows Here

At Dee Norton, we are guided by the mission to lead and coordinate a child-focused, community-wide response to prevent abuse, protect children, and heal families. We provide expert, comprehensive services from the moment of concern through the healing process at no cost to the family. Since opening our doors in 1991, more than 36,000 children and their families have been helped at Dee Norton. This is largely possible due to the incredible support of our generous donors, many of whom contribute to our Dinner Auction.

On February 5, 2026, Dee Norton Child Advocacy Center will celebrate the 26th annual Hope Grows Here fundraising gala. This event is marked by the immense generosity of sponsors, donors, and attendees who have collaboratively raised over $8,000,000 since its inception in 2001.

Thank you for helping us change the world, one child at a time!
