Plant. Protect. Prevent.
Child Advocacy Services is proud to continue our mission to give Voice, Healing, and Security to children by spreading awareness surrounding Child Abuse Prevention Month in April! Spring is a new time for growth and bright futures for children. One initiative that has received incredible community support year after year is the blue pinwheel, the national symbol for child abuse prevention. More importantly, the community becomes engaged and empowered in being personally invested in this critical issue.
Join in our mission by investing in services for children & planting a pinwheel garden! Click on the pinwheel below to reserve your pinwheel garden today!
Pinwheel gardens will be distributed during the last week of March.
By displaying pinwheels you are helping create awareness about prevention and a dialogue around this important issue. Your Donation Makes An Impact! Thank You!
Organizations and individuals can get involved in a variety of ways:
Plant:
- Voice: Make a donation and receive a Pinwheel Posie of 10 pinwheels to plant at your home or business. We encourage you to post a photo to social media using #Plant.Protect.Prevent! and tag us!
- Healing: Offered to companies or groups interested in taking action to prevent child abuse. Plant a pinwheel garden at your business or public location. Kit includes up to 25 pinwheels (or additional as requested) for your donation. Gardens for Healing are offered in recognition of a donation to services for children. CAS will send our own staff to help you plant your garden, capture a photo, and promote on social media!
- Security: Offered to companies interested in taking action to prevent child abuse by displaying a larger pinwheel garden. Kit includes up to 50 pinwheels or up to 100 pinwheels for your donation.
