Want to donate to Raising Beautiful Butterflies, Inc, our #BeAFriend Anti-Bullying color 5K empowers our EmpowerU Mentoring Program and unites the community in a campaign to keep all youth safe from bullying. Join Raising Beautiful Butterflies to support bullying prevention awareness and action by participating in this 5K! October is National Bullying Prevention Month and we believe that bullying ends with YOU!
Statistics on bullying from the National Education Association report there are about 160,000 children that miss school every day out of fear of being bullied. 71% of students report incidents of bullying as a problem at their school, and 43% of youth report that they have experienced some form of cyberbullying in the last year.
In conjunction with the Henry County community, our goal is to make the #BeAFriend Anti-Bullying 5k Color Fun Run/Walk a premier annual event that raises awareness about the effects and consequences of bullying. We believe that in order to end bullying, an entire community must work together towards a solution!
