KCSARC March 2011 E-News

Thank you to those who attended our "Kids Are Our Business" Breakfast earlier this month in Seattle. Wow, what an amazing event! Over 750 people were in attendance who helped to raise over $325,000 to support KCSARC's work to end the silence around sexual assault. I'm truly inspired by what we, as a community, can do when we come together.

I hope that you will continue to partner with us to end the silence by participating in one or all of the many activities listed below for Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April!

Warm regards,

Mary Ellen Stone, Executive Director
