Through the “B.A.B.E. Stop the Violence Campaign”, we
are raising funds to
assist various Bay Area Non-profit organizations who specialize in helping women
and children (victims) of domestic violence and abuse. Statistics have proven
that 1 in every 4 women will experience some kind of physical assault in her
lifetime. It is important to bring this travesty out of the shadows and into the
light. With your assistance, we can help those directly affected; their
families and even their
communities get the
support they need.
