From March 28th through April 6th
over 30,000 Central New Yorkers
wore white
ribbons & white wristbands to raise awareness
about
domestic and sexual violence.
Together, and with overwhelming enthusiasm
& generosity
they made this
important statement:
"I will not commit, condone
or remain silent about
domestic or sexual violence."

The Vera House
Foundation
is deeply
appreciative of this community's generosity
and sincere commitment to the mission of
the 2008
