Education Event Tonight!

Our class is a co-sponsor (and the PR team) for tonight's domestic violence education event on campus. Join us at 8pm in Daniel 100 to learn about Safe Harbor's mission and how to help yourself or a friend in an unhealthy relationship.

Eat at Chick-fil-A!

Clemson-area folks: please eat at the Clemson Chick-fil-A tonight, Wednesday, Oct. 5, between 5 and 9pm. Tell the cashier you are there to support Safe Harbor, and a percentage of the proceeds will go to Safe Harbor. The more people who attend, the higher the percentage of sales go to Safe Harbor, so please come eat with us!

The class has done a great job getting the word out about this event. Their Facebook event went to about 1200 people, and I've seen plenty of Tweets and emails going around. We hope this is a successful start to Safe Harbor's month of raising awareness and funds during October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Media Release for Homecoming

The Homecoming group, who will be promoting healthy relationships and awareness for domestic violence during Clemson's Homecoming activities, is starting to get the word out. We worked together to write a media release, and several groups on campus and in the community are pledging to help us spread the word. You can read the release here, at Safe Harbor's blog. We are so excited to get the whole Clemson family involved in raising awareness.

Also, it's now officially Domestic Violence Awareness Month (October). Let's all help bring attention to this important but often-ignored and misunderstood issue. Check out this website for more information and helpful resources.
