This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Denim Day.
OXNARD, Calif., April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Coalition for Family Harmony's third annual Denim Day Event is set to take place Wednesday, April 24. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Denim Day, a globally recognized movement to support survivors of sexual assault.
Serving as the only rape crisis center in Ventura County, the Coalition set a goal for this fundraiser to raise $25,000 to support the lifesaving services provided for survivors of sexual assault. This year's event is a dinner at Pacific View Tower in Oxnard.
This year's Denim Day is made possible through the generous support of sponsors including Kaiser Permanente, Ventura County Credit Union, and the Port of Hueneme.
In addition to the recognition of sponsors, awards of excellence will be presented at the event. Mary Olson from KCLU is set to receive the esteemed Hero Award for her tireless efforts in advocating for survivors and amplifying their voices in the community. Kaiser Permanente will be presented with the Change Makers Award in acknowledgment of their significant contributions toward creating a safer and more supportive community for survivors of sexual assault. Last year's awardee of the Change Makers Award was US Bank.
"Receiving support from our community shows us how important our mission is," said Caroline Prijatel-Sutton, Psy.D, Executive Director, Coalition for Family Harmony. "We are proud to stand alongside organizations like Kaiser Permanente, Ventura County Credit Union, and the Port of Hueneme in supporting survivors and raising awareness about sexual assault prevention."
April is Sexual Assault Awareness month, and the last Wednesday of the month is dedicated to Denim Day. On April 24, 2024, people are encouraged to wear denim to raise awareness about sexual violence prevention.
