Dear Mayor
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. This year,
The Prevent Child Abuse- Coachella Valley Council is preparing a
Blue Ribbon campaign in order to educate our desert
communities about child abuse and neglect prevention. The
theme for this year's campaign is ""Share your love"
We will be participating in many community gatherings across
the valley.
Each year during the month of April, we distribute thousands of
blue ribbons and educational information for parents and
families. In the past two years, we have helped to sponsor two
County -wide Children's Conferences, one in the Valley and one in
Riverside. This year, we are bringing various programs and
information to our valley and sponsoring two new conferences.
We are asking you to support the Blue Ribbon
Campaign. We are asking everyone to wear a Blue Ribbon
throughout the month of April. Put blue ribbons on your cars. We
will also be distributing posters and informational packets.
To make all this possible, we need your financial help. We are
asking for a contribution from $100 to $1,000. Prevent Child
