MINNESOTA COALITION AGAINST SEXUAL ASSAULT HOLDS SECOND ANNUAL AWARE EVENT TO KICK OFF SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH:
LEGISLATORS, COMMUNITY LEADERS AND VOLUNTEERS TO BE HONORED
Thursday, April 2, 2009, 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Program and Awards at 5:30 p.m.
The Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault (MNCASA) will hold its third annual AWARE Event on Thursday, April 2, 2009 at its offices located at the Kelly Inn, Suite 100, 161 St. Anthony Ave., St. Paul. The event is an opportunity to educate the community and stakeholders about sexual violence, acknowledge individuals who have played a key role in working to end sexual violence, and a chance to also raise funds for our organization.
The 2009 AWARE Award Recipients are: Senator Linda Berglin, Representative Phyllis Kahn, Minnesota Indian Womens Resource Center and Pillsbury House Theatre. Each of these recipients has performed extraordinary awareness-raising work for the issue of sexual assault.
The event will also include wine and hors doeuvres as well as a raffle and silent auction with donated items. Funds raised will support our work with sexual assault programs statewide.
MNCASA is a membership organization that has over 70 Partner Programs. Our programs serve communities across the state by providing advocacy services to sexual assault survivors, doing community outreach, and working to enact policy changes that would help prevent sexual violence. The staff at MNCASA provides technical assistance and training to our programs so that they may continue doing their difficult and necessary work.
