Wear Blue Day

What is Wear Blue Day?

Wear Blue Day is Wednesday, April 9! Join us on April 9 and wear blue. The color blue has represented child abuse awareness since 1989 when a woman named Virginia tied a blue ribbon to her car's antenna after her grandson died as a result of child abuse. April has become the national month in which organizations around the US bring awareness to child abuse prevention.

Show us your blue!

Get your family, friends, and co-workers involved to raise awareness by wearing blue on April 9. Simply get the word out and take a picture of your BLUE. Tag us at @adoptamericanetwork on social media or send them to the button below. We can't wait to see a sea of BLUE!
