Child Abuse Prevention

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, a month dedicated to helping raise awareness around child abuse and neglect. The blue pinwheel is the national symbol for Child Abuse Prevention.

During April, the pinwheels planted in our community symbolize the happy, healthy childhoods all children deserve.

Realities For Children has been funding the unmet needs of Larimer County children who have been abused, neglected, or are at-risk since 1995.

Together we support the services of 40 Partner Youth Agencies and represent over 260 Business Members invested in making it their business to make a difference.
