Roses for Relief raised $5,700 to benefit Greer Relief.
The silent and live auctions included direct service donations.
Blue pinwheel gardens are dotting Greer’s landscape as a signal of its participation in the Project Pinwheel, a Greenville First Steps’ community project that rallies around the national Pinwheels for Prevention campaign. It’s designed to educate and provide awareness for the prevention of child abuse and neglect.
“For many of us, the pinwheel evokes strong positive memories of childhood,” Ann Cunningham, director of the city’s Parks and Recreation Department, said. “As a symbol for child abuse and neglect preventions, it serves as an uplifting reminder of childhood and the bright futures that all children deserve.”
