Ways to Support Domestic Violence Awareness #5

Host an awareness event to support your local shelter. Examples:

  • Valentine’s Anytime Party:  February 14th only comes once a year, but Break the Cycle encourages you to celebrate healthy relationships all year round!  Valentine’s Anytime is a fun way for anyone and everyone to get involved in the movement to end domestic violence. Throw a party that’s just your style – cocktails or potluck, wine tasting or tea sandwiches – and help stop abuse.

What Can a Party Do?

A party is a great way to raise awareness and money for your local anti-violence agency programs to end dating violence.   Your local shelter will provide you with tips on how to talk about abuse and ask for donations.

For my Fredericksburg friends:  contact us at RCASA to host a party for teen violence prevention.

For my Richmond friends: contact the YWCA or Safe Harbor to support efforts in the Richmond region.
