National Child Abuse Prevention Month, is quickly approaching in April and aims to raise awareness and promote prevention efforts to protect children. This month encourages communities and families to work together to create safe and nurturing environments for all children.

To support this important cause, the R&C team is proud to partner with Foster Love KY, a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting and encouraging foster families. Together, we’re launching a T-shirt fundraiser to raise awareness and show appreciation for the amazing foster parents. All proceeds will go to Foster Love KY, helping fund fun events and meaningful retention efforts to support and uplift our foster families.

We're excited to offer two t-shirt designs this year! The tree design, back by popular demand, features a few minor updates from last year’s version. We’re also introducing a new rainbow design! Both designs are available in adult and youth sizes, with a variety of color options and your choice of a t-shirt or crewneck.
