Go Blue for Kids: A Community-Wide Campaign
Every April, during Child Abuse Prevention Month, the CAC initiates its Go Blue for Kids campaign to raise awareness, strengthen families, and prevent child abuse. Blue is the official color representing the fight against child abuse, and throughout the month, local businesses and supporters rally to show their commitment.
Local businesses can become a Go Blue for Kids Business Supporter by:
- Hosting an event such as a spirit night, donation class, or fundraiser
- Offering a giveback promotion, such as donating 15% of sales or contributing $1 from every blue-themed item (e.g., cocktails, desserts) sold in April
How to Get Involved as a Business Supporter
The deadline to commit as a Go Blue for Kids Business Supporter is March 5. Businesses that commit after March 5 may not receive all promotional benefits, which include:
- Advertising in the April edition of Blue Ribbon News
- Cross-promotion on CAC social media
- Opportunity to include an item in the 50 Go Blue for Kids Kickoff Party swag bags
