The Blair County MDIT is a group of professionals who work to effectively and efficiently investigate child abuse cases, utilizing evidence-based practices in an effort to reduce trauma to child victims. Last year, the tournament raised $4,000 toward the development of a Child Advocacy Center Model in Blair County through the Blair County MDIT.
A variety of sponsorship opportunities are also available. Information can be found on the website or by contacting Louisa Lobre-Riley at 814-949-5189 or [email protected].
