IT SHOULDN’T HURT TO BE A CHILD!
220 children died in TEXAS in 2008 as a result of child abuse.
Family Guidance & Outreach Center of Lubbock is a non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of child abuse and neglect and to supporting healthy families by providing services for children, parents, educators, and other health and child care professionals in Lubbock and the surrounding area.
Each April during Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month, Family Guidance & Outreach Center of Lubbock blankets the city with blue ribbons proclaiming "It Shouldn't Hurt to Be a Child". The blue ribbons serve to create awareness about child abuse and neglect while encouraging the community to get involved in making a difference in the lives of children.
In further recognition of Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month, the Family Guidance & Outreach Center will host the 11th Annual Blue Ribbon Rally Car & Bike Show. This fundraising event, which provides one hundred percent of the financial support for the Center's educational and community programs, will be held on Saturday, April 25, 2009, in Lubbock's historic Depot Entertainment District. The day's events include a car and bike show with awards, multiple vendors, live music, a children's area, and a motorcycle fun run. We currently are working to bring other family-friendly activities and interesting events to the Depot District for the day. Stay tuned to this website for updates!
The event will culminate with a live auction and a drawing for a NEW 2009 HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE! Tickets for the drawing can be purchased for $30 each or 4 for $100.
