💙 GO BLUE, GRAYSON COUNTY💙
Friday, April 10
Pick One Thing. Make a Difference.
This April, the Grayson County Children’s Advocacy Center invites our community to take one meaningful step to protect children.
On Friday, April 10, we are asking Grayson County to Go Blue, a visible reminder that children matter here. But awareness is only the beginning. Here are four ways you can take action this April.
💙 Participate
Wear Blue Friday, April 10. One simple action can spark important conversations.
Encourage your school, business, church, civic group, sports team, or office to wear blue on Friday, April 10 and show that Grayson County stands for child safety.
Take a group photo and share it using #GoBlueGraysonCounty.
Tag the Grayson County Children’s Advocacy Center @cacgrayson so we can highlight your participation.
Other Ways to Show Your Blue
Not everyone can wear blue — and that’s okay. You can also:
-
Turn your door blue
-
Display blue ribbons
-
Decorate classrooms or offices
-
Add blue window or storefront displays
-
Share why you Go Blue on social media
Visible support creates powerful conversations.

💙 Learn
Attend a Free Community Prevention Training
Prevention begins with informed adults.
Each year in Grayson County, hundreds of children receive support at the Children’s Advocacy Center after experiencing abuse. Many cases can be prevented when adults recognize warning signs early and respond appropriately. We are offering free community trainings to equip adults with the tools to:
-
Recognize signs of abuse and neglect
-
Understand grooming behaviors
-
Respond appropriately to disclosures
-
Know how and when to report concerns
