News from Cope: Special Blue Ribbon Month Edition
In these challenging times, showing up for families is more important than ever. Every April, we commemorate Child Abuse Prevention Month by raising awareness and funds to strengthen families and protect children. As always, there are many opportunities for you to get involved and help protect kids in our community:
- #WearBlue4Kids Day is Friday, April 10th! Wear blue, share a pic, and tag @CopeFamilyCenter!
- Paint the Town Blue this month and beyond to support local businesses who are taking a stand to protect children.
- Bring your family to Kids Day on Saturday, May 2nd! We also need volunteers to help the event run smoothly.
- Visit the pinwheel displays raising awareness in our community.
- Attend the Napa County Board of Supervisors and City of Napa proclamations for Child Abuse Prevention Month.
I hope you’ll join us this month in creating a safer community for Napa’s children by spreading the word, participating in these activities, and making a donation to support the prevention programs that families rely on every day.
Together, we can build a resilient community where every child has the opportunity to thrive.
In Community,
Jeni Olsen
Executive Director
