Our goal is to plant 240 pinwheels. Each pinwheel will represent approximately 5 cases of child abuse received through intake last year through Children’s Protective Services. They will remain there throughout the month.

April also brings other important causes for us in the community to recognize as well including Sexual Assault Awareness Month and National Crime Victims’ Rights Week.
