VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (April 10, 2023)— LifeCare Medical Transports will host a free child abuse awareness event for the community on Saturday, April 15^th at their Virginia Beach office at 933 First Colonial Rd. Virginia Beach, VA 23454.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and recognizes the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse and neglect. At least 1 in 7 children in the United States have experienced child abuse or neglect within the past year.

“We are proud to host an event that brings awareness and attention to real issues in our communities,” said Grayson Dean, Marketing Representative for LifeCare. “We hope that this event will show our support to the community and help educate our community members and our team on how to stand up and speak out against child abuse.”

The event will be held from 12pm-3pm and will include various activities for children of all ages. LifeCare will be handing out informational material on child abuse prevention and pinwheels. An area will be dedicated for community members to plant pinwheels as a reminder of the great childhoods we want for all children. In addition to LifeCare, Bikers Against Child Abuse (B.A.C.A.) will also be at the event.
