For over 23 years, thousands of participants have come together to support the Annual C∙A∙T∙S Walk/Run, helping to raise critical funds for the Center for Assault Treatment Services (C∙A∙T∙S) program. A vital initiative of Dignity Health - Northridge Hospital Medical Center, C∙A∙T∙S stands as the only 24/7/365 immediate response program in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys, offering forensic interviews and medical-legal evidentiary examinations for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child physical abuse, and human trafficking.

Every dollar donated to C∙A∙T∙S makes a meaningful impact, enabling us to provide compassionate, comprehensive care to survivors of all ages. In 2024, C.A.T.S served 941 victims, with 58% of them being children, reaffirming their commitment to empowering survivors and supporting their path to recovery.

Join me in this vital mission and ensure survivors receive the services they need to heal, recover, and thrive.

Together, we can make a difference!
