The North Georgia Mountains rumbled on June 30th as bikers, once again, gather from Georgia and Tennessee to show their support and raise money to Prevent Child Abuse.This annual event, benefiting Prevent Child Abuse Pickens (PCAPickens), began at Rocco’s Pub in Jasper with an escorted ride through the beautiful North Georgia Mountains.

This non-profit organization was founded 17 years ago with the mission to stop abuse and neglect before it starts and promote early school readiness. PCAP developed Footsteps for Families, designed to greet every expectant parent and provide them guidance, parenting education, referrals and family support throughout pregnancy. Parents as Teachers stays with the family, until the child enters kindergarten, coaching them in the preparing their child for school and beyond. Currently there are 20+ families participating in this program. Unfortunately, due to a lack of funding, there is a waiting list of 52 more families needing support. For additional information, to volunteer or to make a donation please contact PCAP at PCAPickens on Facebook or by calling 706-253-6488.
