Cope Family Center Blue Ribbon Event Set for Friday

In conjunction with April as “Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month," Cope Family Center in Napa is hosting a Blue Ribbon event on Friday, April 5.

Organizers said the event is to raise awareness about child abuse and about what can be done to help prevent the abuse and neglect of children in the Napa Valley community.

This year, the Cope event on Friday will recognize The Honorable Judge Ray Guadagni for his commitment to the children of Napa County at a Annual Blue Ribbon Luncheon.

Afterwards organizers will recognize the number of reported child abuse cases in 2012 by tying Blue Ribbons to the fence at Cope Family Center, symbolizing our commitment to preventing child abuse in Napa County in 2013 and beyond.

Members of the  community are invited to join us at the Ribbon Tying Ceremony on Friday, April 5 at 1:45 p.m., Cope Family Center, 1340 Fourth St. Napa.

The Child Abuse Prevention Council at Cope Family Center will also be offering blue ribbon pins, posters, bookmarks, Mandated Reporter materials and other ideas to support this year’s Blue Ribbon Campaign.
