UNITE FOR cHILD ABUSE PREVENTION
On April 18, 2009 thousands of Exchange
Club members will join together across the country for the single
biggest child abuse prevention service event in Exchange’s 98-year
history. They will be participating in the Believe in the Blue child
abuse prevention project. Since the inception of Believe in the Blue
Day in 2007, nearly 1 million tip cards have been distributed across
the country.
Believe in the Blue is an effort to reach
families all across the nation with positive parenting tips.
Exchange believes parents have the power to make positive parenting
choices in the lives of their children and is offering some
easy-to-use tips to help all parents. “This will be an event to
raise awareness about the positive impact parents and caregivers can
have on children and to offer some helpful tips about positive
parenting,” said Exchange’s National President Floyd Culver.
The National Exchange Club is a group of
men and women working to make America a better place to live through
one national project, the Prevention of Child Abuse, and other
community service projects. To date, The National Exchange Club’s
efforts have helped more than 656,000 families and 1.6 million
children break the cycle of child abuse through its parent aide
programs and public education projects.
