Anaheim, Calif. (April 20^th, 2022) – Branded Group recently partnered with The Priority Center of Orange County in support of the 2022 Pinwheels for Hope initiative, which is being held in April to raise awareness during childhood abuse prevention awareness month.

 

“We continue to partner with The Priority Center in their work to end child abuse and neglect in Orange County,” Kurland said. “Every child deserves to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment feeling loved and protected.”

 

Pinwheels for Prevention is a national public awareness campaign that puts a new ‘spin’ on prevention. The positive campaign allows pinwheels to highlight efforts and change the way we think about prevention. The pinwheel is the symbol of a safe, happy, and carefree childhood, which is why the pinwheel was selected for the symbol associated with Child Abuse Prevention Month.

 

Branded Group team members are purchasing pinwheels, which will be displayed at the Pinwheels for Hope Garden, located at Lido Marina Village, at the courtyard fountain. Each costs $25 and donor’s names will be placed on their designated pinwheel in recognition of their support. The garden will be on display throughout the month of April, in recognition of National Child Abuse Month.

 

“We are grateful to have the support of Branded Group and its employees” Lisa Fujimoto, CEO of The Priority Center said. “When businesses and nonprofits join together on important causes such as child abuse awareness and prevention, we can make Orange County a better place for children and families.”

 

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), more than two-thirds of children have had at least one traumatic event by the time they are sixteen. Each day, more than 1,000 youth are treated in emergency departments for physical assault-related injuries. Being aware of the signs of trauma and abuse is critical to getting help for these innocent youth.
