Kiener Plaza Turns Blue!
Several
Blue Ribbon events were held to mark April as Blue Ribbon Month
including the conversion of the water in the fountain at Kiener
Plaza bright blue.
April Blue Ribbon Month calls community attention
to the continuing problem of child abuse and encourages the public
to support efforts to strengthen families as the best way to prevent
child abuse from developing.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the first
Presidential declaration of April as Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Since 1989, the blue ribbon has been widely recognized as a national
symbol of child abuse prevention.
Collectively, Blue Ribbon events inspire thousands
of individuals, organizations and communities across the country
to not only remember those who have died as a result of child
abuse but also to promote public awareness around strengthening
families to prevent abuse and neglect.
