Triumph Bracelets
You can wear a Blue Triumph Bracelet. Blue is the international color for Child Abuse Prevention.
It was chosen to represent the bruised and battered bodies of the thousands of children who are abused every day.
Before today is over 4 children will DIE from being abused.
One will be a baby less than a year old. Two probably haven't yet celebrated their fifth birthdays.
2,700 children will be physically and sexually abused today.
Tomorrow it starts all over again.
Child abuse is an American epidemic.
Colorado is the third worst state in the nation for child abuse deaths.
Studies show that children who grow up in abusive homes are more likely to abuse their own children.
Awaken those around you.
Wear the Triumph Bracelet.
Because no child should be forgotten.
Blue Triumph Bracelets are available for $2 each at:
Realities For Children, 1610 S. College Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80525970.484.9090.
