Broomfield declares April 2025 as World Tai Chi and Qigong Day and Child Abuse Prevention Month

The Broomfield City Council held a significant session on March 26, 2025, where two important proclamations were made that directly impact the community.

First, the council declared April 26, 2025, as World Tai Chi and Qigong Day in Broomfield. This global event, celebrated in over 80 countries, aims to promote health, wellness, and unity through synchronized Tai Chi and Qigong practices. Broomfield will join this celebration at Anthem Park, inviting residents of all skill levels to participate and experience the benefits of these ancient practices. The event is expected to foster community spirit and encourage healthier lifestyles among residents.

In addition, the council proclaimed April as Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month. This initiative emphasizes the importance of supporting families and preventing child abuse through community awareness and resources. Jessica Jones, director of the Broomfield Early Childhood Council, highlighted the challenges of parenting and the need for community support to ensure a nurturing environment for children. She emphasized that child abuse is preventable and called for collective action to improve the quality of life for all children and families in Broomfield.

The session also featured representatives from local organizations, including CASA of Adams and Broomfield counties, who spoke about their efforts to advocate for children affected by abuse and neglect. They encouraged community members to get involved, particularly through volunteer opportunities, to strengthen families and build better futures for children.

These proclamations reflect Broomfield's commitment to health and child welfare, inviting residents to engage in meaningful activities that promote community well-being. The council's actions align with broader goals of fostering a supportive and healthy environment for all residents, particularly the youngest members of the community.
