Child Abuse Prevention is Everyone’s Job

What your church can do:

National Blue Sunday is April 29, 2012  Join churches across the nation as they take the time in their morning service to pray for the victims of child abuse and those that rescue them. It’s that simple. There’s nothing to join and no fees to participate. We no longer ask that you register but would still love to hear about your success or challenges so we can monitor our growth and effectiveness. Your organization can take the lead in making a difference in child abuse prevention efforts.

What your city can do:

Big Blue Day
This can be any day of your choosing. This activity is designed to remember the victims of child abuse, raise awareness in the community and show support for the efforts being made in behalf of children.

Begin by asking the city to make a proclamation that a certain day will be its Big Blue Day to remember the victims of child abuse and to show support for local child abuse prevention efforts.

Schools could hold poster contests, wear blue ribbons, and be given good parenting tips to take home.

Businesses could donate a portion of their earnings that day to designated prevention efforts and show support by displaying blue ribbons at their entrances.

Hospitals could host open houses honoring those who work in the field of child abuse.
Churches could open their doors at noon for prayer vigils or better yet ask them to participate in the National Blue Sunday event on April 29, 2012.

Blue is the accepted “memorial ribbon” color for honoring the victims of child abuse so look for ways to bathe your city and your children in blue.
