This year, the Prevent Child Abuse — Zoachella Valley 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 "It Only Takes a Minute ... To ask for help ... To tell a trusted adult ... To make the right choice ... To look for warning signs ... To distract an angry parent ... To become involved ... To count to ten ... To make a difference in the life of a child" Each year during the month of April, we distribute thousands of blue ribbons, posters and educational information for parents and families. Last year, we sponsored a Fall Children's Conference on October 20, 2006, and once again, this year we will be bringing various programs and information to our valley and participating in many community gatherings across the valley. Annually, we hold a fund-raising event entitled the Bono Family Creating Hope Award Gala. The Creating Hope Award is to honor an individual who has given of his/her time in the prevention of child abuse and neglect. 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. We are asking each city within the Coachella Valley to support Child Abuse Prevention month by: • 'Completing a Proclamation from your city supporting Child Abuse Prevention month — sec Sample Proclamation. • To make ali'this°possible, we need your financial help. We are asking for a contribution from $100 to $1,000 to Prevent Child Abuse — Riverside County. • To consider joining us and/or contributing through a donation or becoming a sponsor of the Bono Family Creating Hope Award Gala. We would like to attend a city Council meeting and briefly present Prevent Child Abuse Spring Campaign and make available to Council members and to the city a variety of posters, information and items to distribute through the city proclaiming April as Child Abuse Prevention month.
