Downtown Pensacola Goes Blue For Child Abuse Prevention Month

April 1, 2014

Blue bows are up along Palafox Street in downtown to raise awareness for Child Abuse Prevention month.

“The ‘From Blue to Better’ campaign takes place every April to raise awareness about child abuse prevention and to promote the fact that we all have a role to play in protecting children,” said Stacey Kostevicki, executive director of Gulf Coast Kid’s House. “Our hope is that these bows serve as a daily reminder of our obligation to children in our community.”

“From Blue to Better” is a month-long series of events for Child Abuse Prevention Month in April. Launched by local child and family service agencies, the campaign uses the color to highlight child abuse awareness and prevention during the month of April.

The  campaign also  emphasizes that it is everyone’s job to keep children safe.

Local residents and visitors will see blue events popping up around town throughout April, including the painting of the 17th Avenue “Graffiti Bridge”.
