Two organizations are collaborating to bring awareness to Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Members of the Exchange Club of Greeneville and the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteers of Northeast Tennessee participated in “Pinwheels for Prevention” on Monday as part of an awareness campaign for Child Abuse Prevention month.
Greene County Courthouse lawn is the site of a pinwheel for each child in the court system due to abuse and neglect. The display will remain in place throughout the month of April.
Greene County Mayor Kevin Morrison and Town of Greeneville Mayor Cal Doty previously issued a Joint Proclamation recognizing April as Child Abuse Prevention Month.
CASA, or Court Appointed Special Advocates, is a volunteer organization that recruits, screens, trains and supports community volunteers to advocate for children who are in the court system as a result of abuse or neglect.
The Exchange Club of Greeneville is a civic organization made up of men and women working together to make their community a better place. The prevention of child abuse is Exchange’s National Project.
