Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS) is pleased to begin our
second annual V-Day Campaign, and to invite you to participate in this global
movement to end violence against women and girls by attending this year's
performance of "The Vagina Monologues." Each year, several thousand
V-Day events are organized by activists in over 100 countries around the
world, educating millions of people about the visceral ongoing reality of
violence against women and girls worldwide, and raising money to support
local organizations working to end the violence.
The event will be a benefit to raise community awareness
and critically needed funds to help SASS continue our mission to provide
assistance to local Lane County survivors of sexual assault and abuse.
. Doors will open one hour prior to the performance. All seats are
general admission. There will be informational tables and event sales in the
theatre lobby before the performances.
