Very Special Donation Day: May 15th!

We warmly invite you (and everyone you know!) to donate to DVSAS on May 15th, from midnight to midnight (Pacific Time), through The Seattle Foundation. This is because your donation will have a chance to stretch a bit further on May 15th—the only date that The Seattle Foundation matches a portion of your funds.


The Seattle Foundation is hosting this GiveBIG opportunity, thanks to sponsors like the Bezos Family Foundation, Boeing, Medina Foundation, Microsoft, Seattle International Foundation, Starbucks and more. Because of their support, your tax-deductible donation, made on May 15th, will have an opportunity to stretch a bit further in our community.

So click the 'GiveBIG' image above, on May 15th, to be taken to The Seattle Foundation's DVSAS donation page, to make a donation and give your funds a little bump in the San Juan Islands! If you have any trouble, be sure to click this handout, which will walk you through each step.

We can't begin to thank you enough for all of your support and dedication to ending domestic violence and sexual assault. It is specifically because of ((you)) that others can learn how to safely live free of abuse. We thank you deeply for making this possible.

Free 5-Hour Self Defense/Self-Protection Workshop



April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and with this, DVSAS is planning awareness activities to benefit the community. On Sunday, April 14, Friday Harbor DVSAS will host a free five-hour self-defense/self-protection workshop, from 11am - 5pm at the Frank Wilson EMS Building, for women 16 years of age and up (13 and up with parent). This class will be taught by certified instructors Sergeant Scott Brennan of the SJC Sheriff's office, with Leslie Brennan and Arian Drake-Raue. If there is enough interest we may offer this on the other islands as well. Please call Friday Harbor DVSAS at 378-8680 to reserve your spot.
