Countdown to DVA Month - 4 weeks! Purple Light Nights!
Purple Light Nights!It's four weeks now until October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness (DVA) Month!
Each week in September, we're offering Alpha Chi Omega sisters and friends a fun and meaningful way to prepare for DVA Month; this week, we're very excited to the share Purple Light Nights project with you!
From their website:
Purple Light Nights™ is the inspiration of the Covington Domestic Violence Task Force, King County , Washington .
The goal is to have all residents shine a purple light on every front porch; hang a string of purple lights in every business window; and decorate each downtown street tree with purple lights, to send the message that“Domestic Violence Has NO Place In Our Community”.
The outcome of Purple Light Nights™ is to increase the awareness of domestic violence issues and it’s affect upon children and families.
