A Single Blue Ribbon...

Geaux Blue is CASA of West CenLA's initiative help to increase awareness of child abuse in our communities, promote positive parenting practices, share parenting successes, recognize children's successes in our communities, help identify resources for families, encourage parents in our communities, and to promote the CASA of West CenLA mission.

The story behind blue ribbons is not as positive as our vision precipitated by it. A single blue ribbon was hung on a car antenna by a grandmother in memory of her grandson - his battered body found was found in a toolbox at the bottom of Dismal Swamp Canal in Virginia on March 8, 1989. Since then thousands of ribbons have been displayed in many ways to call attention to thousands of abused children.

Please wear blue or display your blue ribbon every Friday. If you, those in your office or agency, your civic group, or just a group of friends want to wear blue to bring awareness to child abuse and neglect, please take a photo and share it with us via our Facebook page. We will display your photo on our website and our Facebook page to show that you support awareness of child abuse and neglect in our communities. Tell others why and let them know what they can do to help a child.
