The Advocates for Children Committee of Healthy Carolinians of Orange County and the Hillsborough Exchange Club will hold a special event on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., to raise awareness about shaken baby syndrome in recognition of child abuse prevention month.

In order to combat the problem, the Advocates for Children Committee of Healthy Carolinians of Orange County are waging a campaign called Real Men Rock. The goal of the campaign is to encourage fathers to be gentle with their babies.

Educational materials will be available at the event. In addition, several local groups and experts will be on hand to provide information about shaken baby syndrome. Dads are encouraged to attend the event and bring their babies to show that real men rock and comfort their babies, even when they cry.

The event will be held in the parking lot of the Hillsborough Wal-Mart on Hampton Pointe Boulevard.
