Tag It!
CTF
Personalized Car Tags
The message should be clear. Prevention of
child abuse and neglect is everyone’s
responsibility. When you buy a Children’s
Trust Fund specialty license plate,
approximately 92% of the purchase price goes
directly to fund community-based prevention
programs in Alabama. These tags are
available at every County Probate office and
are tax-deductible. They can be
personalized with any combination of six
letters or numerals at no additional
charge. However you decide to personalize
your tag, the message is clear...

LWT Communications
LWT
Communications was founded in Montgomery in
1959 and is a full-service marketing, media
and Web development firm. For the past 6
years, the agency has held an event called
CreateAthon, where the staff donates
24-straight hours to design and marketing
work for select non-profit organizations.
Children's Trust Fund applied to be an LWT CreateAthon
client in 2006 and was chosen along with 8
other non-profits. LWT designed a corporate
brochure and poster for CTF utilizing rich
photography of children at play, whimsical
graphical elements and emotive words
like "trust", "believe" and "hope."
"The
work Children's Trust Fund does everyday and
the grants they administer are so very
important to the health and well being of
children across Alabama. It was truly our
honor to complete this work for CTF and
their wonderful staff."

Giving Made
Less Taxing…
Alabama
Income Tax Check off
Every
year we go through the motions. Either on
our own or through a professional, we file
our state income tax. It is always exciting
to see ourselves coming out with a little
extra instead of owing some back, but your
return may be more powerful than you
realize.
With over 80% of Children’s Trust Fund
dollars going directly into programming
designed to protect our children from abuse
and neglect, your refund can become an
investment in the children of this state.
This year consider donating all or part of
your State of Alabama tax refund to the
Child Abuse Trust Fund.
This tax deductible donation can be done by
simply attaching Schedule DC to your state
return and indicating the “Child Abuse
Trust Fund” (1d) as your
preference.

Tobacco
Cessation
All grantees should know that it is a requirement
that they address the issue of the dangers of
tobacco use. Below are links to some great resources
from the American Heart Association that can assist
you in spreading the word to clients, teachers,
parents and children. Please inform teachers of
these great tools! For additional information,
please call Vicki Cooper-Robinson
at 334-242-5710.

Shaken Baby
Syndrome |
| |
|
|
Because
babies and young children have weak neck
muscles, they cannot always support their
head. Combine this with a growing brain and
thin skulls and you have a small person that
is very fragile and vulnerable to damage.
Children under
the age of two are most at risk. For these
reasons, even the smallest amount of shaking
can cause devastating effects that include: |
-
Blindness
-
Hearing loss
-
Internal Bleeding
-
Paralysis
- Long
Term Brain Damage
-
Seizures
-
Developmental Delays
- Death
Please never never
shake a baby!
