Pinwheels for Prevention
Pinwheels for Prevention is a national awareness campaign created by Prevent Child Abuse America urging people to act to prevent childhood abuse and neglect by transforming that awareness in to action.
Prevent Child Abuse America asserts that the pinwheel reminds us of childlike notions and stands for the chance at a healthy, happy and full life that all children deserve while reflecting the belief that getting it right early is better than trying to fix it later.
During the month of April, National Child Abuse Prevention Month, CASA teamed up with Chautauqua County Family Court, the Chautauqua County Department of Health and Human Services, and SUNY Fredonia Social Work Club in participating in activities to bring awareness of childhood abuse prevention.
During CASA's Pinwheel event at the Chautauqua County Municipal Building, Chautauqua County Executive, Vince Horrigan gave the official proclamation charging the community to, "work together to increase awareness about child abuse and neglect."
CASA representatives along with Judge Claire and Judge Piazza reminded attendees at the event about the vital work CASA volunteers do and their impact on the life of children and families in the Family Court system.
The SUNY Fredonia Social Work Club students in collaboration with CASA held a pinwheel sale and go blue for prevention campaign on the SUNY Fredonia campus raising funds to purchase pack-n-play cribs for area families to promote safe sleep for children. The students handed out information on safe sleep reminding everyone that babies sleep safest alone.
