This blog scares the Hell out of me! However, I have been trying to battle as many fears as I possibly can.

Support for our show

Awareness is one of our key goals in touring with the show, Spitting In The Face Of The Devil.  It is so important to let people know that these things still go on.  So, I would like to thank the amazing organizations that have supported our show, past and present!

Prevent Child Abuse – New Jersey
  They were the first organization that really believed in the show, and took a major interest in it.  I am looking to do a major benefit for them at some point.
(Supported the Garage Theatre Group Solo Fest shows)

Prevent Child Abuse-New Jersey is a nonprofit organization
working to end child abuse.  There mission is to prevent child abuse in all of its forms, for all of New Jersey’s children.  Prevent Child Abuse-New Jersey is the only statewide non-profit dedicated to preventing child abuse in all of its forms, for all of as the New Jersey chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America, the 9th Chapter to be established among a national network. Today, we exist as one of the largest chapters across the country, and have become a recognized leader for prevention work in New Jersey.

Women's Community House
An amazing organization that does so much for battered women and children.  We were able to take a tour of their facility when we were in London.  It was an emotionally moving and powerful tour.
(Supported London Fringe show/Benefit show for organization on June 25, 2010)

Founded in 1978 Women's Community House (WCH) in London with a combined total of 67 beds at the Wellington Road and Clarke Road facilities is the largest high security shelter for abused women and their children in Canada.  Open 365 days per year around the clock, each year WCH provides emergency and short term shelter, counseling support, and transitional outreach services to roughly 6,000 London and area residents. WCH also owns and operates Second Stage Housing a 25-unit apartment complex that provides Rent-geared-to-income independent living for 49 families each year.


Little Warriors   
Another wonderful organization, focusing mainly on education, and information. 
(Supported Atlantic Fringe Shows/Percentage of proceeds went to organization)
a National charitable organization, based in Canada, focusing on the education and prevention of child sexual abuse. Little Warriors teaches adults how to help prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. In addition to prevention education, Little Warriors also provides information about the prevalence and frequency of
child sexual abuse and information about healing and support resources.


Prevent Child Abuse - California
This is a sister company to Prevent Child Abuse – New Jersey.  I am such a huge believer in the work they do.
(Supporting the Rogue Festival, Fresno, CA / A portion of the proceeds will go to this organization)
Prevent Child Abuse California is an agency of the Child Abuse Prevention Center with a 35 year history of serving children and families.  Our mission is to prevent the abuse and neglect of California’s children by building community resources, enhancing public awareness, developing and coordinating prevention programs, and facilitating advocacy activities.

Each one of these organizations does amazing and powerful work every day.  They deserve our support.
