We’ll begin the day at the First Baptist Church of Denver with a light breakfast and the presentation of the 2025 Illuminating Leadership Awards to recognize leaders in the family strengthening field. Immediately following the award presentation, help us fill the galleries of the state legislative chambers as Child Abuse Prevention Month tributes are being read.
Be sure to wear blue and join us in Miller Hall at the First Baptist Church of Denver–Illuminate will bring the pinwheels!

This year’s theme is “Powered by Hope, Strengthened by Prevention.”
Throughout Child Abuse Prevention Month, Prevent Child Abuse America and Illuminate Colorado are building a narrative of a world where all children and families are living purposeful and happy lives with hope for the future. By ensuring families have the support they need before challenges become crises, we can create a future filled with hope and opportunity.

Building healthy communities takes work. We all have a responsibility to ensure children have positive experiences and to make sure families have the resources they need, when they need them. Check out our Community Calendar to see upcoming trainings about creating positive childhood experiences, preventing child sexual abuse, and building protective factors to strengthen families, or attend an event that builds families up.
