Hello Everyone,
Prevent Child Abuse Hawaii had their 13th Annual Teddy Bear Round-Up and Family Resource Fair Saturday, April 10, 2010 at Pearlridge Shppping Center. This annual event is the state's highlight of the month-long series of events that highlight this issue. Child Abuse Prevention Month has been observed each April for over 25 years. More than 5,000 bears are needed for abused and neglected keiki. This year we fell short of our goal of 10,000. Last year we indeed met our goal of 10,000 stuff animals, can you imagine the look on a child face upon receiving a teddy bear.
The event had great entertainment from all ages, costume characters, and free parenting information pertaining to child abuse and tips. Also, KHON2's weather anchor, Justin Cruz hosted the event. They also mentioned that the first 500 families to make a teddy bear donation will receive a special gift & child-safety information.
Basically, the message to our children, we love you and that we will always be there with open arms and hugs.
