The event calls for people to take action in support of healthy child development as the nation marks April as Child Abuse Prevention Month.
This will be the signature event of the Pinwheels for Prevention campaign, through which Prevent Child Abuse America has distributed more than 3.5 million pinwheels nationwide since the campaign?s launch in April 2008. ?We all want healthy starts for our nation?s children; yet we know that various adversities like poverty, child abuse, domestic violence and substance abuse can sometimes get in the way,? said Charles.
