Child Abuse Prevention Orange Ribbon Sash Relay
~Connecting the wishes embodied in the sash~

The orange ribbon is a symbol of child abuse prevention.

What is the Orange Ribbon Sash Relay?

They made sashes with the "orange ribbon," a symbol of child abuse prevention, and ran wearing them.

By participating in a relay race, we can prove that uniting everyone's hearts can create great power.

We call upon the public to "prevent child abuse" and aim to achieve this goal.

This awareness campaign began in 2007.

The sash is inscribed with the words, "A bright future for children."

I will run carrying the hopes and dreams embodied in this sash.

"KAMENOI HOTEL Hikone" is one of the relay points
