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.
