The Brownwood – Brown County Child Welfare Board has a big campaign in April to make everyone aware that if we prevent Child Abuse and Neglect, there will be far fewer children that have to be protected by CPS.
The first event of this campaign is the “Raindrops to Rainbows-Stop Child Abuse” Poster Contest.
First and Second Place prizes will be given in each age group: Each First Place Winner will receive $50.00 in Brownwood Bucks! Each Second Place Winner will receive $25.00 in Brownwood Bucks! Grand Prize Winner will receive an additional $100 in Brownwood Bucks! (Grand Prize Winner will be selected from the First Place winners.)
Posters will be displayed at Heartland Mall during the month of April.
Prizes will be awarded to the winners on stage at 2:00 p.m. at Heartland Mall, on Saturday, April 17, 2010.
