We also offer information on grandparents raising
grandchildren. PCAHC participates in community health
fairs and events and collaborate and serve on committees
with many other agencies in the community.
Some other things that PCAHC does in the community
are a child abuse awareness campaign each year in April
called "Pinwheels for Prevention". We collaborate with
other agencies in the community to "Paint Henry
Blue" during child abuse prevention month. Blue
pinwheels, bows and signs are displayed all over the county
as a reminder of child abuse prevention month and
pinwheels vigil is held.
>>> May 15th we will be participating in the Children's
Charity Challenge at Top Golf Midtown, in Atlanta. This
new take on golf tournaments allows multiple children's
charities the unique opportunity to raise funds for our cause
while creating awareness. Through the participation of the
people like your readers, either through sponsoring
a PCAHC dedicated team or deciding who their entry fees
should be allotted once they register to play. We have
information available on the website.

the judges had a really hard time choosing the winners
