CHILD ABUSE AWARENESS

APRIL IS CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH

In honor of Child Abuse Prevention month, I proactively sought out
opporunities to spread awareness about CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates).

I contacted businesses in Market Street and a few agreed to passout info in their stores throughout the month. Mike Schinn from Learning Express is a huge CASA supporter and Nizhoni boutique also offered to give back to CASA monetarily by donating a portion of profits from anything in the store that was BLUE. We also set up a tent in Market Street during one of the Jazz concerts. We passed out over 200 pamphlets and then ran out! What a success! Finally, I held a jewelry party that directly benefitted CASA. Together my friends and I earned over $1000 in jewelry that CASA will receive for GALA silent auction.
