Got word of this charity event, ARISE: Stand Up Against Domestic Violence, happening this weekend at Columbia University. Kappa phi Lambda, an Asian-interest sorority, is trying to spread awareness about domestic violence, an issue that's too often swept under the rug in minority communities. The even will feature dinner, a raffle, performances and more. Some details:
ARISE: Standing Up Against Domestic ViolenceOnly one quarter of all physical assaults perpetuated against females by intimate partners are reported to the police. For more information about the event, visit the Facebook event page here. But your tickets here. And to learn more about Becky's Fund (as in Becky Lee, second runner-up on Survivor: Cook Islands), go here.
The Sisters of Kappa Phi Lambda invite you to join them on October 24, 2009 at our annual benefit show - ARISE: Standing Up Against Domestic Violence. Buy your ticket now to enjoy a night of Columbia talent and performances while supporting victims of domestic violence. All ticket sales will be donated to Becky's Fund, a non-profit organization devoted to ending domestic violence through support and education. In addition to providing resources to local domestic violence organizations that serve battered women in marginalized and immigrant communities, Becky's Fund also implements a variety of national direct-help and awareness programs.
