Take the Pledge
I pledge to be a good neighbor and help keep families strong and children safe. I will reach out to a family in my neighborhood, support a local family organization or know about family resources in my community.

As the home to Prevent Child Abuse South Carolina (PCA SC) – the state chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America – Children’s Trust offers community organizations the opportunity to be one of our prevention partners. The partnership includes a package of Child Abuse Prevention Month materials: one box of 240 pinwheels, two yard signs, 20 pinwheel lapel pins, 50 Positive Messages for Kids sticky notes, and 50 Helping Kids Grow booklets.
Participation gives organizations a connection to statewide prevention and advocacy efforts, unified messaging for CAP Month, and shared learning with other partners. Our prevention partners help provide a visible presence for the prevention of child abuse and neglect by planting pinwheel gardens and hosting awareness-raising events in their communities.
Donations help Children’s Trust provide funding, resources and training to community-based organizations that implement programs proven to prevent child abuse and ensure families and communities grow strong.
