In honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month, Alexandria Celebrates Women is planting a pinwheel garden in Del Ray on Friday, April 4.
Pat Miller, Chair of Alexandria Celebrates Women, says, “Pinwheels are the national symbol for child abuse prevention. In 2008, Prevent Child Abuse America introduced the Pinwheels for Prevention campaign. What they found is that people respond positively to pinwheels, which represent childlike whimsy and lightheartedness. All children need to grow up happy, healthy, and prepared to succeed in supportive families and communities.”
