We’re still feeling the impact of such an incredible day 💙

Our Open House and Pinwheels for Prevention event brought together amazing community partners in recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Each pinwheel planted represents the safe, happy, and supported childhood every child deserves, and seeing so many people come together for that shared purpose was so inspiring!

We are deeply grateful for a community that shows up, speaks out, and stands together for our children. When we unite around prevention, hope grows stronger!

Neglect affects over 400,000 children each year, accounting for 74% of child maltreatment cases, yet it is often the hardest to see.

Prevention isn’t just reacting; it’s supporting families before a crisis happens.

Stronger families = safer children.

💙💛💙

It's estimated that at least 𝟭 𝗶𝗻 𝟳 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 in the U.S. experienced abuse or neglect in the past year, according to national research. Many cases remain unreported due to fear or limited awareness.

03/02/2026

Saturday, we gathered for our quarterly Litter Pick-Up in honor of Christal Lane, who lost her life to child abuse at just 8 years old.

As we remember Christal, let her legacy inspire us to take action every day, whether it is checking in on a neighbor’s child, lending support to families, or speaking up when we see something concerning. Turning remembrance into everyday protective habits helps ensure that our tribute to Christal leads to vigilance and care for every child long after the event ends.

We were honored to be joined by:
💙 Gwen Wilkins, Nash County Town Commissioner
💙 Jeff Marsigli, District Attorney
💙 Teachers from Coopers Elementary School
💙 Officers from Wilson Police Department and Nash County Sheriff's Office
💙 Assistant Distric Attorney
💙 Community members

By coming together in service, we honor Christal's memory and reaffirm our shared responsibility to keep children safe.

💙💛💙

Child abuse often happens at the hands of someone a child knows and trusts.
That’s why our children’s advocacy center exists: to provide a safe, neutral place for children to share their stories and begin healing.
