Who is Julie Valentine?

The Greenville Rape Crisis and Child Abuse Center was founded in 2001. It was a result of the combining of the Greenville Rape Crisis, Prevent Child Abuse Greenville, and the Greenville Children's Advocacy Center. However, recently the GRCCAC has undergone some changes.
The center has changed its name to the Julie Valentine Center. Julie Valentine was a newborn baby found in the woods of east Greenville on February 13, 1990. Despite police efforts her parents were never found, and her identity was never recovered. The police named her Julie Valentine because she was found so close to Valentine's Day. Her name represents a symbol for hope against child abuse, and rape. The Greenville Rape Crisis Center was formally renamed the Julie Valentine Center on February 14th, 2011.
