Spinning change for children

CASA of Central Louisiana’s April Pinwheel Garden at American Bank.  

CASA of Central Louisiana invites the community to participate in a powerful symbol of hope and awareness—the Pinwheel Garden. Across the region, bright blue pinwheels will spin in yards, gardens, and public spaces as a reminder that every child deserves a safe and nurturing home.

The pinwheel has become the national symbol for child abuse prevention, representing the happy, healthy childhoods that all children deserve. By displaying pinwheels throughout the month, our community helps spark meaningful conversations around the protection and safety of children — and brings much-needed awareness to an issue that too often remains hidden.

CASA of Central Louisiana (Court Appointed Special Advocates) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to recruiting, training, and supporting volunteers who advocate in court for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. These volunteers, known as CASAs, are often the consistent adult presence in a child’s life during uncertainty and transition.

Whether through displaying pinwheels, becoming a CASA volunteer, or simply spreading the word, your support plays a vital role in changing the story for children in need.

Let’s continue spinning change for children — one pinwheel, one voice, and one act of kindness at a time.
