More America's Giving Challenge. Please join us for a one-day push starting this Thursday, October 29th.

As you know, Prevent Child Abuse America is competing in the America’s Giving Challenge through the Causes application on Facebook. Again, they are awarding daily and overall cash prizes for the Causes that receive the greatest number of donations - not raise the most money - during this 30-day challenge.

So if anyone is considering making a $50 donation, for example, we ask that they be made as $10 gifts over five days so we can get credit for five gifts instead of one.

To try to win a $1,000 prize for generating the most donations in a 24-hour period, we would like to ask everyone to consider making a gift between 3:00pm ET on Thursday, October 29th, and 3:00pm ET on Friday, October 30th. Your gift could be as little as $10; what’s important is generating the most donations over that 24-hour period to win the prize.

To further increase our chances of winning the day, we hope you will send this to others as well!

To participate is easy:

Go to Society Against Child Abuse, the Cause for which we’re the beneficiary.

Once on the Society Against Child Abuse page, you can do any of the following:

Click on the green “Donate” button about halfway down in the middle to make a gift (log-in if you’re a Facebook user). If you don’t have a Facebook profile, you can still help us win! Just click this link and your donation will count toward our goal.

Click on the green “Tell Friends” button halfway down at right to spread the word.

Click on the green “Join Cause” button at top left if you want to become a member of SACA.

So mark your calendars for this Thursday afternoon or Friday morning and help spread the word!

Talking About Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention. The new Prevent Child Abuse America framing toolkit is now live.

It's true and we couldn't be more excited to let you know that the Talking About Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention toolkit is now available. We also want to be sure to thank the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation for their financial support and the FrameWorks Institute for all of their hard work.

America's Giving Challenge. Are you feeling it?

Yesterday Causes launched its latest Giving Challenge, a national online competition in which participating causes compete for daily and overall awards of up to $50,000, which will be given to the causes with the highest number of individual donors (not dollars). The Challenge runs through 3:00pm ET on Saturday, November 7.

You’ve already made the Society Against Child Abuse one of the largest Causes in the world with more than 3.1 million members! Now let’s make it the most “impactful” by getting involved. Here’s how:

1) Make a gift – minimum gift allowed is $10

2) Tell your friends!

3) Give again – Help us compete for the daily awards by giving on multiple days (one gift per day allowed)

Our goal is to raise $50,000 for Prevent Child Abuse America. If 5,000 members give $10 each over the course of the Challenge, we’ll reach our goal, and hopefully put us in the running for the big cash prizes.

Your commitment will support Prevent Child Abuse America’s efforts to change the way our nation thinks about prevention, focusing on community activities and public policies that prioritize prevention right from the start so child abuse and neglect never occur. We work to ensure the healthy development of children nationwide while recognizing that child development is a building block for community development and economic development.

Thank you very much for your support! We’ll be back in touch with updates over the coming weeks.

Kaboodle rocks. Check it out.

We wanted to take a moment to give the team at Kaboodle a big shout-out and let them know how much we appreciate the fact that they are donating space on their website to run our Pinwheels for Prevention ads through the end of the year. We think this is quite cool and thought you would like to know as well.
