Exchange Club Family Center invites YOU to our much anticipated 30th Annual Child Abuse Prevention and Awards Luncheon! This can’t-miss event provides the opportunity for community members to be recognized for their work to prevent child abuse and neglect on Florida’s First Coast!
We are honored to have Derek Clark as our Keynote Speaker. Derek Clark’s journey is a testament to resilience and redemption. Despite enduring unimaginable abuse, abandonment, and emotional turmoil as a child, he was thrust into the psychiatric hospital at the tender age of five. Following that, he spent thirteen years in the San Francisco Bay Area foster care system.
Yet, Derek defied the odds imposed upon him, demonstrating remarkable resilience in the face of adversity. Today, Derek is a source of inspiration as a speaker, author, and viral sensation known for his “Rapping Dad” videos, which have garnered over 250 million views. His appearances on various news channels, including The Steve Harvey TV Show, and numerous global television programs have amplified his message of hope and perseverance.
As the author of seven books, Derek shares his life’s trials and triumphs to inspire others to embrace resilience and unwavering determination. From victim to victor, he exemplifies the power of perseverance and the refusal to surrender to life’s challenges.
