Pinwheels for Prevention Campaign

By its very nature, the pinwheel connotes whimsy and childlike notions - it has come to serve as a reminder of the safe, stable, and nurturing childhoods we want for all children. It is the national symbol for child abuse prevention. The pinwheel is an uplifting reminder of childhood and the bright futures all children deserve.

All across Colorado, people are planting pinwheel gardens to serve as an uplifting reminder of childhood and the bright futures all children deserve.
