The Bridge hosts kickoff ceremony for Child Abuse Awareness, Prevention Month
In front of The Bridge Children’s Advocacy Center, located at 804 Quail Creek Dr., there are currently 1,109 pinwheels which spin in the Texas Panhandle wind.
Those 1,109 pinwheels were put in the ground of the center’s front lawn by numerous supporters of The Bridge wearing blue at a Tuesday morning ceremony, including law enforcement, representatives from other agencies, members of the community as well as students from Crockett Middle School, Bushland Independent School District, Wildorado ISD and the Tascosa High School softball team.
Each one of the individual pinwheels represents a child in the top 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle who used the services of The Bridge in the past year, telling their individual stories of abuse.
