Livingston Area Council Against Spouse Abuse,Inc. (LACASA)
“The Art Van Million Dollar Charity Challenge grant awarded to LACASA’s Violence Prevention and Education Program last year enabled us to meet our most primary goal: educating our community’s youth. The Art Van grant, combined with the matching funds we received, allowed for additional hours to be added to the violence prevention and education department. Through those extra hours, 6,263 students were reached by LACASA’s programs (FYE 2009). We were also able to update many of the resources used in our educational efforts (fact sheets, evaluation tools and media pieces). ”
“It is LACASA’s mission to eliminate the crimes of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse. Every dollar is more important today than ever, especially those that support our efforts to break the cycle of violence by offering information and alternatives to youth in our community. We owe it to future generations and we will not stop until violence is eliminated. Your generosity with additional grant dollars will allow us to continue providing this programming.”
