Marion County Children Services is urging the public to participate in Wear Blue Day on Wednesday, April, 10, 2013. They say by wearing blue, you can help “be a voice for a child” and speak out against abuse and neglect.
“With the cases of child maltreatment on the rise, we need to take a stand as a community,” explained Jacqueline Ringer, children services executive director. “We want to engage you as our partner in raising awareness about child abuse and neglect. So together, we can show a united effort in preventing child abuse.”
Children Services asks that you take a creative picture of yourself, your group, team or company wearing blue and email it to them for their photo gallery on Facebook. Email photos to [email protected].
