Each of the 1800+ pinwheels stands for a child in Palm Beach County who has been abused, abandoned, or neglected and needs YOUR HELP. PBCUnites was blossomed from the idea of Diana Reese, formerly with Speak Up for Kids and the GAL Program, Diana believed the concept of Community based care and called partners together to call the community to action and get the message that everyone plays a part
in making a difference in the life of an abused child. In its second year PBCUnites message is louder, stronger and continues to unite more agencies and passionate advocates. Guided by Linda Coffin and Coleen LaCosta the group is open to all with a passion to help abused children. Get involved today to help them live their dream - a normal childhood.
