Fundraising Events
Our fundraisers have included the “Days “, yard sales, raffles, silent auctions/dinners, the Human Race Run, and other events to help expand our organization’s resources. We have donation drives during April (Child Abuse Prevention Month) and October (Domestic Abuse Prevention Month). We accept new and lightly used educational toys, tapes, books, and videos. These items will be distributed to needy families.
We help and support the *the Homelessness Project”
Training and Research
Our fundraisers help us raise money to help receive grant, training, attend crisis prevention workshops, non-violent crisis intervention, and other programs to help create a safe and respectful place. We also attend domestic violence prevention programs and seminars to help us receive vital and timely information to develop and evaluate intervention strategies.

- Angel House of North Carolina
The Angel House is a start-up project, sponsored by the Anti-Violence Committee of the Triad, with a goal to raise funds to build and operate a large home for young women who are exiting the foster care system, giving them a place to call home while transitioning into adulthood-going back to school, getting a job,finding their own way in life. Lifeskills would need to be taught, and there would need to be ways to continue to fund the house, as well.
This is important because:
- 2,500 children are waiting to be adopted
- 9,000 are living in foster care
- 14,000 children are removed from their families annually
- 550 age out of the system each year with no family support
This is just locally, the national figures are much worse!
- I Survived Abuse
We plan to establish a collection of personal stories about abuse- racism, sexism, physically, sexually or emotional violation- from those who have had their human rights denied. We are setting up a website to collect and then share these stories, publishing them in book form, and also making it into a video format that can be used as a part of a violence awareness presentation- and spread further in the community via youtube and other online video services.
