Pinwheels for Prevention comes in the month of April – April is Child Abuse Prevention Month

In 1983, President Ronald Reagan issued a proclamation designating April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Six years later, the color blue began to represent awareness of child abuse and neglect. In 1989, a grandmother from Virginia tied a blue ribbon on her car. She did this in memory of her grandson after he suffered fatal consequences of child maltreatment. This simple act alerted her community to the tragedy of child abuse. The color blue now reminds people why it is so crucial to prevent child abuse.
Child Abuse Prevention Month is a time to raise awareness and inspire collective action, so children can lead their best lives.
Why Pinwheels for Prevention?
Prevent Child Abuse America introduced the blue pinwheel as the national symbol for Child Abuse Prevention in 2008. Representing a carefree childhood, the pinwheel reminds us of the responsibility we have to ensure happy, healthy, and safe childhoods for all children in our communities.
