Texarkana Planting Hope: 1,600 Pinwheels for Child Abuse Prevention Month

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness and stand together for the well-being of children in Texarkana and our surrounding community. CASA for Children and the Texarkana Children's Advocacy Center (TCAC) invite the public to join them in two special events outside the Bi-State Justice Center, demonstrating our collective commitment to protecting children.

Pinwheels for Prevention – April 1, 2025, at 11:00 AM

Help us plant over 1,600 pinwheels, each symbolizing a child or family who received support from CASA and TCAC in 2024. The pinwheel, a national symbol for child abuse prevention, reminds us that every child deserves a safe and happy childhood.
