Pinwheels for Prevention
CFK supports this national effort to reframe the way the community thinks about child abuse and neglect prevention.
Did you know?
In 2022, there were 74 substantiated cases of child abuse in Mecklenburg County.
On April 4, 2023, our CFK team and community planted a pinwheel garden in honor of the victims of child abuse. The garden serves as a reminder that each of us can play a role in ensuring the healthy development and growth of our children.
Why the pinwheel?
The pinwheel, a national advocacy symbol, represents a childhood that is stable, healthy, and protected. A pinwheel twirling in the sun is reflective of the bright future every child deserves.
Let’s work together to help keep the kids in our community safe. Find out how to make a positive impact in the life of a child.
