The Pinwheels for Prevention program is designed to bring attention to child abuse and neglect in communities throughout Ohio. In April, several communities throughout the state will be displaying colorful children’s pinwheels to acknowledge Ohio’s public awareness campaign to prevent child abuse.

Individuals and organizations in Clark County have formed a “Pinwheels for Prevention Committee”. The committee developed a calendar of events for the month of April, which has been designated as child abuse awareness month.

The campaign promotes healthy child development, positive parenting practices and community action. In 2011, there were 4,113 calls regarding child abuse and neglect in Clark County. Today, these pinwheels represent the adults who provided a voice and advocated for our children. Tomorrow, these pinwheels will represent children growing up in stable, loving homes.

Place the Pinwheel as your Facebook Profile Picture during the month of April!
