SANDY, UT, UNITED STATES, April 10, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Only one week into Child Abuse Prevention Month, and the Virtual Healing Field® map is filling with flags with more flags to post every day.
Colonial Flag Foundation launched its FIRST Virtual Healing Field® flag display to raise funds and awareness to prevent child abuse.
As April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Colonial Flag Foundation has joined forces with Operation Underground Railroad & National Exchange Club to end child abuse. Each year approximately 3 million children are reported as abused in the U.S. – sadly, that number is growing.
About the Virtual Healing Field® Flag Display Program:
On April 1st, 2019 Colonial Flag Foundation with its partners Operation Underground Railroad and the National Exchange Club launched a national Virtual Healing Field® Flag Display where individuals across the country can stand together in a united effort against child abuse. This National Campaign will run through April 30th, 2019.
For a $5 donation—Individuals, churches, businesses and organizations can sponsor a flag on a Virtual Map dedicated to ending child abuse. Sponsored flags will be flown on our Virtual Map to raise funds while at the same time inspiring others and show support in ending child abuse.
You may dedicate your virtual flag ‘in memory’ of someone and may include a short bio or a short message.
Watch our virtual flag display increase as communities and organizations across this great nation unite to end child abuse: www.healingfield.org/childabuseprevention/.

About Colonial Flag Foundation
The Colonial Flag Foundation is a 501(C)(3) non-profit which develops and implements programs to help bring awareness, educate and raise funds for organizations around the country.
About Operation Underground Railroad
Is a 501(C)(3) non-profit founded by Tim Ballard which assists governments around the world in the rescue of human trafficking and sex trafficking victims, with a special focus on children. O.U.R. also aids with planning, prevention, capture, and prosecution of offenders, and works with partner organizations for prevention, victim recovery, strengthened awareness, and fundraising efforts.
Here in the United States, child sex trafficking can intersect with domestic child abuse. When a victim is trafficked by a family member, very often domestic violence is also taking place. Violence in the home can also cause victims to become more vulnerable of being trafficked outside of the home, as both abusers and traffickers use similar tactics, including power and control, to dominate their victims.
Understanding the intersection between domestic child abuse and sex trafficking is extremely important for
raising awareness of the realities of what survivors and victims’ face. (Unicef, NRCDV.org)
About National Exchange Club
Celebrating their 40th anniversary of adopting Child Abuse Prevention as a National Project. Colonial Flag Foundation has partnered with many local exchange clubs to post Blue Ribbon Flags to raise awareness of the magnitude of this tragedy while raising funds to develop and support programs to break the cycle of abuse.
Exchange provides a variety of public awareness materials, designed to help inform and increase awareness of child abuse and how it can be prevented. These are used in conjunction with Exchange Clubs and Exchange Club Child Abuse Prevention Centers.
Additionally, Exchange supports and engages in a number of annual activities designed to heighten awareness of child abuse and its consequences. Through participation in Child Abuse Prevention Month each April, National Headquarters in Toledo, OH, and clubs across the country work with government agencies, local and national partners, and their communities to draw awareness about prevention of this social crisis. Specially-designed materials are made available at this time of year, including action-oriented Exchange Today articles, all intended to help Exchange Clubs, members, and communities work to prevent child abuse.

Tuesday, May 14, 2019 at 1pm ET
with ADHD expert Ari Tuckman, Psy.D.
A new diagnosis of ADHD can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, there is the relief from understanding the neurological roots of your or your child’s actions and behavior.

UTAH – Jeff Burningham announced today that, in his first month of fundraising, he raised over $400K from 127 individual donors for his gubernatorial campaign committee. Burningham, a prominent Provo business leader, announced in January that he is exploring a run for Governor of Utah in 2020.
“I’m encouraged by the broad base of support we’re seeing for this campaign,” Burningham stated. “I’m grateful to everyone who has stepped forward to make an investment in Utah’s future. Together we can help take our state to the next level.”
“Financial resources play a critical role in reaching voters,” Burningham’s campaign manager, Adrielle Herring, said. “Unfortunately, too often, voters go to the polls wondering if they have enough information to make good decisions on election day. Candidates need to do a better job reaching voters with meaningful information. It’s been great to see so many people offer to help Jeff raise the resources necessary to connect with voters.”
Burningham said the grassroots support for his candidacy is also encouraging. “The results of Utah Policy’s straw poll, which they released yesterday, indicate that our grassroots support is growing. We’ve been working hard, meeting with people all over Utah. We feel confident that our fundraising numbers coupled with our grassroots support will be a force to be reckoned with.”
Later this year, Burningham will announce a final decision about getting in the race. He is currently engaged in a listening tour, meeting with Utahns throughout the state.
