Dear  friends and family,

THANK YOU!

Without your help and generosity I wouldn't have made my goal! Your donations will go to SOAR (Speaking Out About Rape) to help survivors of sexual assault. Thank you :)

 

Operation Freefall is the only event of its kind to increase awareness of sexual violence. The event is held simultaneously across the country the last Saturday of each April. In the past nine years Operation Freefall has raised over $1,000,000 with nearly two-thirds of that going back to local community organizations to:

·       Enhance local support and outreach services for survivors of sexual violence.

·       Provide recovery, risk-reduction, and prosecution information to tens of millions of people, including many in your local community, each year.

·       Help victims of sexual violence through the healing process.

·       Educate lawmakers, police officers, students, the public, and the media about sexual assault.

The effects of sexual violence affect all of us. That is why I've committed myself to this event and agreed to raise $1000 before March 15, 2010, and I need your help to do it.

There are two ways to donate. The easiest and most convenient way is to make a donation using your credit card on this secure website. Additionally, you can fill out a pledge form at www.operationfreefall.com and send the donation to me at 1449 Cheboygan Road, Okemos, MI 48864. Any donation amount is much appreciated.

 All donations go towards non-profit organizations including SOAR, RAINN, and SACI (Sexual Assault Crisis Intervention at Michigan State University).

If you have any questions about the operation freefall program do not hesitate to contact me via email thomp731@msu.edu or by phone at 517-944-2742. I hope you'll share in this incredible adventure by supporting me in my fundraising efforts to speak out against sexual violence and help victims on their path to recovery.

Thank you in advance for all of your help and support,

Shiva
