Join us on April 1st for Pinwheels in the Chambers
Help us kick off the Pinwheels for Prevention Campaign for Child Abuse Prevention Month by joining us for an inspiring morning.
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!
April 4th is Wear Blue Day!
On Wear Blue Day, let’s come together to raise awareness and show our commitment to preventing child abuse. Wear your blue and help spread the message of hope for every child’s bright future!

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.
