Blue Wahoos All Season
Our friends at the Blue Wahoos will air a special message from Sue Straughn, Quint Studer, and Sandy Sansing at every game this April!
From Blue to Better
Join us in raising awareness about child abuse prevention in Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton Counties.
From Blue to Better is a regional movement to raise awareness about child abuse prevention during April, National Child Abuse Awareness month. For years, child abuse has been thought of as a private issue, or something that is left to social workers and law enforcement. From Blue to Better seeks to engage all members of our communities – from churches to businesses to civic groups – it is everyone’s responsibility to keep children safe.
The founding principle of From Blue to Better is that if we can’t talk about child abuse – we have no hope of preventing it. Learn more about how you can “Go Blue” and lend your voice to moving children from blue to better.

Thank you to Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward for the proclamation designating the month of April as Child Abuse Prevention Month here in Pensacola. We all need to work together as a community to break the silence and help move our children from blue to better. Help us increase awareness by hanging posters and blue bows, because #NoChildShouldBeBlue. Child abuse is an upsetting and difficult topic. But, if we can't talk about it, how can we stop it?
