Challenge Ends Tomorrow - We Need You Now

The Purple Purse Challenge ends before noon on Friday, October 3rd! Please give what you can before the deadline by clicking Here.

We are proud to have been selected by Allstate to participate in this fundraising challenge. All funds raised support our life saving services, including our financial empowerment education. Financial abuse happens in 98% of all cases of domestic violence and is one of the most powerful ways to keep a victim trapped. 

By supporting the Center, you help domestic violence survivors and their children rebuild their lives.

The Allstate Foundation Purple Purse Challenge is a fundraising campaign to end domestic violence. Allstate will donate $500,000 to ignite public awareness and fundraising for charities benefiting domestic violence survivors. The amount of money we raise determines how much we receive from Allstate.

Thank you for your support! Together we can end domestic violence in our communities.

Donate now.

We're Halfway There!

Congratulations to our 2014 TCS NYC Marathon team for collectively raising over 50% of the team fundraising goal! They have 5 weeks left to raise the remaining 50% -- let's get to work!

Remembering Why We Run

On November 2nd, the CADV Marathon team will run a combined 131 miles in the TCS NYC Marathon. For our team, this is more than just a race -- each runner has committed to fundraise $3,000 for the Center's Relationships Are Elementary program.

Learn more about the team and support them here.

We'd like to stop and reflect on why our runners have spent these past months working so hard. While training to complete 26.2 miles next Sunday, our runners simultaneously raised funds to support the Center's Relationships Are Elementary program.

RAE arms third, fourth, and fifth graders with the tools they need to avoid becoming victims or perpetrators of teen relationship abuse and bullying.  The earlier we reach students, from both violent and non-violent homes, the better chance we have for laying the groundwork for healthy relationships.

We run because we believe that youth-based prevention programs are the solution to stop domestic violence in the future. We hope you'll support our marathon runners in solidarity with that belief. 

Back to School with Backpacks from Saving Angels

Fall is here, and the children living in our shelters are heading back to school. The families fleeing violent homes arrive at our shelters with next to nothing; most children lack backpacks and basic school supplies. 

We are deeply grateful for Jennifer Lee and Saving Angels for donating backpacks (filled with school supplies!) to the children living at our shelters. Thank you, Jennifer, for ensuring these children are ready for school! 

Purple Purse Challenge Update

Thank you for your generosity and enthusiasm over these first few weeks of the Purple Purse challenge!

We've already raised a few thousand dollars to support our life saving services. The Center operates three full-service shelters for survivors and their children, provides survivor advocacy and outreach to the greater NYC community, and develops and runs groundbreaking anti-dating violence and anti-bullying education programs for NYC elementary through high school students.

Every donation makes a difference, no matter how small. 

The Allstate Foundation Purple Purse Challenge is a fundraising campaign to end domestic violence. Allstate will donate $500,000 to ignite public awareness and fundraising for charities benefiting domestic violence survivors.

Why We Ride: Relationships Are Elementary

Learn More about the team and support our bikers!

The Center believes that youth-based prevention programs are the solution to stop domestic violence in the future. Focusing our efforts on young children creates a better opportunity to break the cycle of violence.

Last Chance to Give in 2013

We at the Center Against Domestic Violence wish you all the best for a safe and violence-free 2014!

We know from your past support that you care about ending domestic violence, teen dating abuse and bullying.  That’s why we're reminding you that your final chance to make a tax deductible donation for 2013 is fast approaching.

Remember, all gifts to the Center Against Domestic Violence are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.

Thanks to your donations to the Center, a thousand women and children found safety in our shelters this year, and another 30,000 high school and intermediate school students learned how to have healthy relationships and how to end bullying and abuse.  The Center has been working hard to end abuse since 1976, but we need your help to support thousands of women, men, children and teens to live healthy, happy lives unthreatened by violence.

I hope you’ll join us as we prepare for another year of life saving and life changing services.  If you have already made your year end gift, thank you.  If you haven't donated yet, please click here to donate.

Thank you for all you do to end violence in relationships.

 

Happy new year!
