Wear Blue Day 2026

On April 3, join the Children’s Safety Center in wearing blue to support Child Abuse Prevention Month and show your commitment to keeping kids safe.

Wear blue anywhere — to work, school, the gym, a community event, or at home. Invite your friends, family, coworkers, students, or your entire office to participate. Whether it’s a blue shirt or blue suede shoes, wearing blue together sends a powerful message:

Child abuse is preventable — and our community is committed to protecting children.

Take a photo of yourself or your group wearing blue and share it on social media. Don’t forget to tag @cscwashco so we can celebrate your support!

Why Blue?

The blue ribbon became a national symbol for child abuse prevention in 1989, when a grandmother tied one to her car in memory of her grandson who died as a result of abuse. Today, wearing blue each April honors children impacted by abuse and raises awareness that prevention is possible.

When you wear blue, you help shine a light on hope, healing, and a safer future for every child.
