NAR To Present Greenville Rape Crisis & Child Abuse Center With Supersized Check
Greenville Rape Crisis and Child Abuse Center was presented with a donation of $16,667 in the form of a giant check by North American Rescue Foundation at the Girl’s Night Out (GNO) event which took place at the Poinsett Club on November 6, 2009.
North American Rescue has a long history of supporting law enforcement in their efforts to reduce sexual crimes committed against women and children. During a meeting with Trey Gowdy, the 7th Circuit Solicitor for Spartanburg & Cherokee Counties (candidate for the Republican Congressional seat nomination), NAR became aware that there was a great need for resources to aid in the healing of victims long after the perpetrator had been put away.
NAR first became involved with Greenville Rape Crisis and Child Abuse Center while attending their annual fundraiser gala, the GNO. There they had the opportunity to make a substantial contribution toward a desperately needed playground for the many children healing at GRCCAC. Since 2007 North American Rescue has also been involved with supporting the tenacious efforts of Greenville County Sex Crimes Investigator and GRCCAC board of directors member Ty Bracken, as she works to apprehend internet predators.
Dr. Lisa Castellani of North American Rescue Foundation presented the large format check to Shauna Galloway-Williams, Executive Director of Greenville Rape Crisis and Child Abuse Center. “We are honored to be coming along side of this agency,” said Dr. Castellani, “in support of all of the hard work that they do to help victims of abuse find the light at the end of what seems like a never-ending tunnel.”
Girl’s Night Out’s proceeds go to support GRCCAC. Speaking at the event was the Spartanburg County Assistant Solicitor and head of the Domestic Violence Unit, Chris Crick.
Greenville Rape Crisis & Child Abuse Center provides confidential programs and services for child, teen, and adult survivors of sexual assault and child abuse in Greenville County.
