9th Annual Domestic Violence Benefit Showcase

RETRO will be there to show our support for this event.
(Via Facebook Event)

The sisters of alpha Kappa Delta Phi cordially invites you to join us in spreading awareness of Domestic Violence at our 9th Annual Domestic Violence Showcase. The showcase will be packed with skits, performances and guest speakers exposing the consequences of domestic violence.

Donations are welcome! Raffle tickets will be sold for $1 to win prizes such as gift cards and etc!!! All proceeds benefit the Asian and Pacific Islander Women and Family Safety Center.

The Asian and Pacific Islander Women and Family Safety Center's mission is to prevent violence against women through community organizing and education; provide safe, culturally relevant services for women, youth, and children; and create housing resources for families who face domestic and sexual violence, and victimization from human trafficking in Asian and Pacific Islander communities.

alpha Kappa Delta Phi's mission is to provide sisterhood among women, scholarship, leadership, and Asian awareness in the university and community. Further, to provide a support group for sisters in their times of need and to encourage the making of successful women. To accomplish our mission we will maintain the highest levels of quality and integrity. We will create a climate that encourages teamwork, creativity and innovation and above all, give our absolute support and encouragement to those we hold dear to our hearts - our sisters. We measure our success in how well we are regarded by our peers, represented by our community and supported by our sisters.
