2. Encourage advocacy - Encourage people to care about and help put an end to domestic violence.
3. Promote activism - Take an active role in helping battered victims find safety through counseling, education and legal representation.

Domestic Violence Awareness Day at the Park
Event Information
Come take a stand against domestic violence with us!
Becky’s Fund and the Washington Nationals invite you to join us at the nationally broadcast evening baseball game on July 3, 2009 against the Atlanta Braves for "Domestic Violence Awareness Day at the Park."
We have selected Vice President Joe Biden as the first recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from (“Becky’s Fund”) and will present him or his surrogate with the award that evening in front of a live audience of more than 20,000 fans. By highlighting domestic violence and honoring the sponsors and supporters of the Violence Against Women Act and the reauthorization of VAWA in 2010 at this event, we hope to bring awareness to this issue and generate grassroots support for both local and federal efforts working on domestic violence.
We are still seeking sponsors and want to maximize our ability to make an impact – this is where we need your help. If you are interested in being a sponsor for this event, please contact Becky at becky@beckysfund.org!
We also need to show a strong front against domestic violence - please join us at this game to show our community that we do not find domestic violence acceptable!
Tickets can be bought at: http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/was/ticketing/groups_events.jsp?group=DomesticViolence
