MERIT Pinwheel Ceremony

Child Abuse Prevention Month 2025

April 4, 2025

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Location

UIC Health Sciences Campus-Rockford, Front Lawn (Commons in case of rain)

Join us in recognizing the abused children receiving Medical Evaluation Response Initiative Team (MERIT) services last year and the work that MERIT does to ensure children receive comprehensive exams so that they get the care they need.

Over 400 abused and neglected children received MERIT services last year. 400 blue pinwheels in the lawn recognize their stories.

April 4, 2025, is Wear Blue Day to support child abuse awareness and prevention.
