April 1st marks the beginning of Child Abuse Prevention Month and we're wearing blue on Fridays to show support to those dedicated to ensure safer, healthier futures for all children.
Do you know why we wear blue?
Wear Blue Day originated with a grandmother who lost her grandson to child abuse and neglect. In remembrance of her late grandson, she tied a blue ribbon to the antenna of her car. That one small ribbon started a movement where today millions of people wear blue to spread awareness about child abuse prevention.
