Sanctuary for Families: An Appeal to our Female Readers

The competition is surely underway, with the men battling it out and trash-talking each other along the way. But how is the competition going as far as its true purpose -- raising money for Sanctuary for Families? Has anyone been campaigning to raise money or are they too busy focusing on the manly portion of the competition? (Not to insinuate that they have not raised any funds -- we do not know the status of these efforts to date.)

We women can also participate, not to compete in the hair growth department, but in raising money for this wonderful organization that is dedicated to assisting battered women and their children.

Sanctuary for Families envisions a society in which freedom from domestic violence is a basic human right. We are dedicated to the safety, healing, and self-sufficiency of battered women and their children. To that end, we offer a broad range of high-quality services including shelter, legal assistance, and counseling. We work to end domestic violence and its far-reaching impact through outreach, education, and advocacy, and to create a world where every woman and child lives with dignity.

To make donations on behalf of the ladies, please donate online and indicate "TalkPoint - Women of TalkPoint" in the "How did you learn about Sanctuary?" section. You can visit their website at www.sanctuaryforfamilies.org for additional information.

Send this to every woman you know and help us raise money for battered women and their children!
