Pinwheels for Prevention

The core fundraising initiative for PCAA revolves around the Pinwheels for Prevention campaign promoted in April (Child Abuse Prevention Month). SDT chapters nationwide participate in pinwheel projects on their campuses by selling and displaying pinwheels. In addition, many chapters host events and activities throughout the year, from dance marathons to bake sales. We’re working hard to DEFΣΔT CHILD ABUSE! Over the past 35 years, chapters have raised more than $3 million!

PCAA is rated one of the two best charities for children in the nation by Consumer Reports!
