Breaking Out Of The Silence (B.O.O.T.S.) 2023
B.O.O.T.S. is a community fundraising event. DAWN staff, board members and committed volunteers host this opportunity to uplift, spotlight and support the lifesaving work and continued success of DAWN. Every dollar so graciously shared goes directly to ensuring DAWN’s programs are able to survive and grow. This includes enabling staff to continue to provide creative and live-giving ways services to so many survivors. Survivors continue to experience a huge increased need for support, counseling, and emergency services as they have since Covid-19 began 3 years ago.
