Individuals, families and local businesses are being called on to give hope to central Alberta through sponsorship, volunteerism and social media.
With the unveiling of the Giving-Hope.ca website on September 1, the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre (CASASC) has announced new sponsorship and donor opportunities.
Giving-Hope is a fundraising and sponsorship campaign stemming from CASASC’s on-going mission to break down barriers to care and education for central Albertans and their families who have been affected by sexual violence.
All CASASC’s programs and services are free-of-charge, including their 24-hour Support Line which has handled 7,897 calls and messages in the last two years.
“Even though we are in a beautiful, brand-new building we still need help and support from the community. We pay rent in this building and we have a lot of clients. In 2023 we helped and educated 22,921 people in central Alberta and we need the support of Red Deer and central Alberta to make sure we can keep up with the need and demand for our programs and services.” says Patricia Arango, Executive Director of CASASC.
The newly launched Giving-Hope website will showcase the important work that CASASC is doing, with features such as donation processing, video and photo galleries, online store, and social media integration to engage with supporters and raise awareness about the services available. If people aren’t able to contribute financially, they are being encouraged to track Giving-Hope`s progress and spread awareness by using #GivingHopeRD.
Sponsorship packages are available with naming opportunities and include the 24-Hour Support Line, Police and Court Support program, Community Impact Vehicle, Pet Support Pal, Sensory Room and Play Therapy program.
Central Albertans passionate about making a difference in the community that are interested in being part of the dedicated investors and donors are encouraged to email Giving-Hope@casasc.ca. Your contribution will help CASASC continue to provide these vital services to those who need them, serving as a guiding light during a time of uncertainty and adversity.
