CASA of Caroline's 3rd Annual Pinwheels for Prevention!
Denton, MD.-In honor of April's Child Abuse Prevention Month, CASA of Carolinewill be holding its 3rd Annual Pinwheel Planting Ceremony on Wednesday, April 5th at
4:30pm in the Denton Community Garden, located between 3rd and 4th Streets behind
The Foundry. Thanks to generous sponsors, including TCC Gives, M&T Bank, Aldi's,
Choptank Transport/Hub Group, For All Seasons, Purple Peake, Caroline County
Health Dept./Behavioral Health, Preston Auto Group, and the Towns of Ridgely and
Greensboro, hundreds of blue and silver pinwheels will be planted to raise awareness of
child abuse and its prevention. Blue and silver pinwheels are the National Symbol for
child abuse prevention because they represent the happy, carefree childhoods all kids
deserve. The silver catches the light for visibility and the blue represents the color of
bruises.
Immediately following the planting ceremony, attendees are invited to The Foundry
where the Caroline County Council of Arts will feature an exhibit of "Pinwheels of Hope",
pinwheel coloring sheets completed by local CCPS students. Nearly 500 colored pinwheels
have already been received! We will also be showing this year's Pass the Pinwheel
video, featuring clips from local, state, and federal politicians and citizens.
Many sponsors, including ones not listed above, are creating their own displays of blue
and silver pinwheels in Caroline County to show that Caroline County is a safe place for
children and families. The Town of Federalsburg will be holding their own Pinwheel
Planting Ceremony on Thursday, April 6th at 4pm in the Men for Change garden located
across from Town Hall. Federalsburg will also be lighting their water tower blue in honor
of Wear Blue Day on April 5th.
Each year more than 390,000 children in the United States are in the dependency court
and foster care systems as a result of experiencing abuse or neglect. CASA of Caroline
supports and promotes court-appointed volunteer advocacy so every child who has experienced
abuse or neglect can be safe, have a permanent home, and the opportunity to thrive.
Please join us to raise awareness and END THE ABUSE!
