There are blue and silver pinwheels blowing in the breeze on sunny, spring days all over Rutherford and Cannon Counties.
“We have a record number of organizations in Rutherford and Cannon County planting pinwheel gardens to show their support of child abuse victims this year,” announced Ryan Wallace, Child Advocacy Center Community Education Coordinator.
Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee organized the Pinwheels for Prevention campaign. There are 187 places in the State of Tennessee that have pinwheel gardens and 24 of them are in Rutherford and Cannon counties. The 2016 Pinwheels for Prevention campaign slogan is: Every child deserves a great childhood. “At the Child Advocacy Center we echo the Pinwheels for Prevention Campaign slogan. Rutherford County and Cannon County are family oriented communities. We believe that every child deserves a great childhood and children who have been physically and sexually abused deserve our communities’ support,” stated Child Advocacy Center director Sharon DeBoer.
As of right now there is only one pinwheel garden in Cannon County and that is located at the Cannon County Child Advocacy Center. Businesses and organizations are urged to support this campaign For more information please call 563-9915
