Why We're Doing This

Jeremiah Shane Culbreth  12.26.1986 - 10.22.2005
Jeremiah was a vivacious young man with a big personality who had a  zest for life and living.  Many might say he was born with a smile on  his face and a fishing rod in his hand.  He grew up living and loving  the beaches of the Destin area, whether fishing, swimming or surfing.   He attended school in Destin,  Niceville High School and graduated  from Freeport High School in May of 2005.  Jeremiah was known by many  of Destin’s residents, whether from school activities or from watching  the fish being brought in down on the docks.  He was interested in everything and especially loved music and the drama of the theater, and  in particular he loved the magic of clowns and mimes.  One of his  favorites was Marcel Marceau, the world’s most famous mime.  Jeremiah  was happiest when those around him were sharing a smile with him.

We hope by having this event that Jeremiah's memory will serve others by encouraging people to become more involved in our community and to be more aware of the challenges that face our children. 

We want  Hooks, Lines and Singers to educate the public about child abuse and about substance abuse.  All too often we turn our heads and say “not  in my community.”  Each year there are more than 1,500 cases of child abuse and sexual abuse reported in Okaloosa and Walton County.  Because of the Children’s Advocacy Center these children and their  families receive compassionate help and care.  By educating the  community about the role the Children’s Advocacy Center has in helping children we hope that we can work together and “help stop the hurt.”
