Relief Efforts
Sibling Revelry (Not Rivalry!)
Many times foster children
are housed in separate foster homes.
Sometimes separate cities. They need
opportunities to interact in the happiest of
settings. We host Christmas Parties, skating
events, and trips to the Zoo all geared
towards helping children.
Family
Court
Abused and neglected children must attend
court with their foster families. This can
be a long drawn out experience. We offer
kid friendly distractions by way of books
and quiet toys.
Kids
in Crisis
Many times a child is rescued
from an abusive situation during the night
or straight from hospitals. Many times they
come into the “system” without any personal
belongings. We provide necessary items
during this time of transition.
Education
Resource materials:
We are working to have placed
on each school campus, church, and library a
copy of the book titled
The Little Blue Book of Big Ideas –
Creating Your Own Prevention
Projects.
This publication shows how to
make a difference for abused children in
your community.
You can order the
book
through on our resource page.
Have a
Heart Conference
We host conferences for
school districts, law enforcement, day care
centers, and churches. We provide relevant
information to sharpen prevention and
intervention skills while earning them
credit hours for continued education.
Website: www.bluesunday.org
The Blue Sunday website to
promotes our local and national programs as
well as providing assistance to other
organizations.
“Substance Abuse = Child Abuse” Campaign
87% of our child abuse cases
are drug and alcohol related. Billboards and
service announcements will show that good
parenting and substance abuse don’t mix.
Student Awareness
We provide coloring pages and
word puzzles that include good parenting
tips for families. Abused children need to
know they are not alone, its not their fault
and they are not beyond getting the help
they deserve.
Motivation
Blue Sunday Faith Initiative
This event is held every year
on the last Sunday of April. It began with
20 churches taking time in their morning
services to pray for the victims of child
abuse and for those who rescue them. It has
grown into an international effort with over
2 million participants. Many new
relief/prevention projects have begun
directly from this effort.

organization go to our Sign Up page.
Put Foster
Kids First
This program works with local
service clubs and organizations to show them
how easy it is to participate in
prevention/relief efforts in their own
communities. To schedule a speaker for your
organization call 956-299-0564.
Blue Santa Awards
We honor those who have
personally sacrificed their time, money and
talents to aid in rescuing children.

Blue Ribbon Campaign
Wear a blue ribbon during the month of April
to show support for Child Abuse Prevention
