April is Child Abuse Prevention Month!
The pinwheels around town represent the carefree, whimsical childhood we want for all children.
Following is a list of ways you can get involved in child abuse prevention right here at home.
All donations received in April, including those made at the Champions luncheon on April 19, will include an opportunity to acknowledge someone who gave you a happy, carefree childhood. Please send the name and address of your honoree, along with your gift. (Honoree information will not be added to our regular mailing lists.)
