Price Chopper Supermarkets will sponsor a Pinwheels for Prevention Pin-up Campaign to help in the fight against child abuse during Child Abuse Prevention Month in April.

The campaign raises awareness about the prevention of child abuse and neglect.

Barbara L. Page, Community and Public Relations Manager of Price Choppers parent company stated that last years Pinwheels for Prevention campaign raised over $30,000. Their goal is to reach $50,000.

Every dollar collected will support Prevent Child Abuse Connecticut's Parent Warmline, public education, and parent support efforts. Bookmarks and fact sheets about child abuse prevention will also be available at the stores customer service desks and information tables.

Local participating stores are in Bristol and Torrington, as well as Newington, Putnam, Southington, Vernon, Waterbury, and Windsor.
