Blue handprints for the Child Protection Center’s Paint SRQ Blue cover windows at many businesses in Burns Court in support of CPC’s monthlong campaign against child abuse. 

Local businesses and community partners are asked to show their support through any display of blue and the poster for the campaign in their windows. 

Some restaurants are serving blue plate specials and cocktails with proceeds from the purchases benefiting CPC. Show your sup- port on social media using hashtags #paintthetownblue, #getyourblueon or #cpcsrq.
