What is Go Blue 4 Kids? It’s your chance to take action against child abuse and human trafficking in our community. How do you Go Blue? There are a number of ways to raise awareness and show your support for McMahon Ryan during the National Child Abuse Prevention Month of April.
It starts with the blue pinwheel, a national symbol of child abuse and neglect prevention. In our Onondaga County community, it stands as an uplifting reminder that all children deserve a happy childhood and future. For a donation, you can “Blow Someone Away” with our popular pinwheel installation.
There are many ways to Go Blue 4 Kids in April. Become a sponsor of one of our events or attend one with family and friends. Become a volunteer, the center is always in need of them. You can also work with our staff to host your own event. Recruit co-workers to get involved with the cause by organizing a “Blue Jeans Day” that raises money for McMahon Ryan at work. We even have merchandise such as Pinwheel Flower Pots, Pinwheel Lapel Pins and Go Blue 4 Kids Wristbands available for purchase. It doesn’t stop there; you can show support by donating to one of our 100 Holes 4 Kids Golfers.
