Pinwheels for a Purpose

What if I told you that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 7 boys will be sexually abused by age 18…

Pinwheels for a Purpose is an awareness campaign kicked off during April Child Abuse Prevention Month to bring light to the topic of child sexual and physical abuse. The Child Advocacy Center of Lapeer County and our partners believe we have a responsibility to the community where we live and work. One of the ways we fulfill this responsibility is by investing in the children in the community.

The Power of One Can Make A Difference

While the pinwheel, for the most part, represents fun, the reason for us planting them is serious. Each pinwheel in our garden represents a child who has been forensically interviewed at the Child Advocacy Center of Lapeer County over the last 13 years as a result of child sexual/physical abuse.

Your donation of $30.00 can help ease the suffering of children who have been abused.

It starts with ONE; one person to be their hope, one person to be their voice, and one person to be their hero. The impact of your generosity – seeing a victimized child being to heal in the safety and comfort of the Child Advocacy Center of Lapeer County is priceless.

It’s Your Turn to Make a Difference

For a donation of $30.00, you will receive a pinwheel garden to be displayed at your business or organization throughout the month of April. 

By sponsoring a pinwheel garden, you are demonstrating your commitment to keeping children safe by increasing awareness about child abuse in our community and raising the funds necessary to prevent it.
