LACASA Center has been named a 2021 Purple Ribbon Award Honoree in the category of Outstanding Awareness Campaign by Theresa’s Fund and DomesticShelters.org.
The nonprofit’s 2020 GLOW campaign was developed for LACASA’s Community Education Department to increase local awareness and support for abuse victims and survivors in Livingston County throughout October, which is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Purple Ribbon Awards recognize the “heroes serving victims and survivors of domestic violence.” Theresa’s Fund and DomesticShelters.org work in tandem to provide comprehensive domestic violence resources in the U.S. and Canada for people experiencing and working to end domestic violence.
LACASA’s GLOW campaign messaging was created by the agency’s Chief Communications Officer Robin L. O’Grady, and campaign graphics were developed by Graphic Designer Sally Strand.
“We are grateful to the national selection committee for recognizing our agency’s work to foster community awareness about abuse,” said O’Grady. “Our supporters enthusiastically supported LACASA’s 2020 GLOW campaign last October by shining purple lights and displaying GLOW lawn signs throughout downtowns and neighborhoods.”
LACASA will hold a GLOW Gathering from 7-8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 1, 2021, at the Brighton Millpond & Amphitheater. The community is invited to attend this free awareness event and to light up Livingston County in purple this October by displaying GLOW lawn signs and purple lights along home fronts and business fronts.
