“Blue Ribbon Friday for Kids” is Friday, April 27^th

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and the Southeast Alabama Child Advocacy Center (CAC) is coordinating the 18^th annual Blue Ribbon Campaign. The CAC mission is to reduce trauma and anxiety for child victims of sexual and severe physical abuse. Last year more than 1,000 children and non-offending family members received services at the CAC. The blue ribbon is a national symbol for the protection of children, and the CAC has dedicated Friday, April 27^th as “Blue Ribbon Friday for Kids.”  The public is invited to show their support of the CAC by purchasing and wearing “Blue Ribbon Friday for Kids” t-shirts each Friday during April. The t-shirt design was created by CAC clients and consists of a tree inside a blue ribbon with the message “Helping Grow Courageous Children.” The design is on a kelly green 50/50 jerzees t-shirt. Shirts are available in adult sizes for a $15 donation and youth sizes for a $10 donation. For information on the Blue Ribbon Campaign, or to order your t-shirts, please call 671-1779.
