What is "Go Blue" ?
Go Blue is a collaborative Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention campaign between organizations and professionals in Williamson County. The goal of the GO BLUE Committee is to amplify our voices and impact during the month of April for children impacted by abuse in our community.
In the spring 1989, a grandmother named Bonnie Finney took a stand against child abuse in Norfolk, VA. She tied a blue ribbon on the antenna of her minivan in remembrance of her late grandson and as a signal to her community that child abuse was a devastating plague.
The spirit of her blue ribbon grew and inspired a statewide community-based effort to prevent child abuse in every town, every community, and every county.
