Alyson's Fundraising Page for the Crisis Center

This year marks my 7th year fundraising for the Crisis Center on Colorado Gives Day. Each year I reach out to my network of friends and colleagues and ask that they consider giving to this wonderful organization that supports almost 400 clients each year.  I hope it also raises awareness around the issue of domestic violence and how it impacts the people in our lives. Below is a quote from one of our clients:

“No one really talks about or acknowledges domestic violence in upper socio-economic demographics, but the impact is just as real and, in some ways, even harder to overcome. The Crisis Center helped me tremendously, but more importantly my son has improved as a result of the resources at the Crisis Center. It is one of the few places my challenges have been understood and supported because domestic violence usually only ends once someone dies.”

The Crisis Center offers a 24-hour crisis line, emergency shelter, therapy, community and legal advocacy services to its clients, all of which are free because of donations like yours.  I hope you realize the impact you can have on your community. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men experience sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime. Please consider giving to the Crisis Center this Colorado Gives Day, your gift will make a difference!
