More than 1,700 Pinwheels to be Planted to Remember Children Who Died by Child Abuse

What: 
As part of the “Pinwheels for Prevention” project, 1,720 pinwheels – one for each child who died nationwide as a result of child abuse in 2017 – will be planted on Intermountain Healthcare's Primary Children’s lawn on Monday as a reminder of the gravity of child abuse and a symbol of hope for a safer tomorrow for children.
