Get Together Foundation Hosts Concert for Hope to Raise Funds for Victims of Sexual Abuse and Assau

Aug. 12, 2010 - PRLog -- CHATSWORTH, CA - Get Together Foundation, a 100 percent non-profit foundation, will host the “Concert for Hope” charity event on Sept. 2 at the Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas to raise funds for the Center for Assault Treatment Services (CATS.) The concert will feature live music by Rosemary Butler and Pacific. VIP ticket holders will receive dinner, an Earthly Body gift bag and a “Concert for Hope” T-shirt.  

“We are very excited to raise funds for this outstanding local organization,” said Kevin Wachs, founder and Executive Director of the Get Together Foundation. “Physical and sexual abuse victims have special psycho-social needs, and CATS offers treatment, prevention and investigative services to the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valley area.”

Founded in 1997, in response to a community need, Northridge Hospital Medical Center’s CATS is the only 24 hour, 7 day-a-week program for victims of sexual abuse and assault of all ages in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys of Los Angeles County, California.

2-2-2-2 GTF FOR CATS CHARITY EVENT PRESS RELEASE
“The entire staff at CATS is committed to giving the best possible care to the victims of this very personal and devastating crime.  Our caring staff of examiners are experts in medical evidentiary examinations and provide services in a victim friendly environment,” said Kathy Adams, Clinical Manager of CATS. “Emphasis is not only on providing best practices in evidence collection but also to give the victim and their loved ones services and tools with which to begin the road to recovery both physically and mentally.”
   
The Get Together Foundation acts as a non-profit bridge between the donator and the intended cause; a system that allows 100 percent of the contributions to go to a designated cause, no less, no exceptions. The Foundation raises money for a variety of different causes ranging from children’s charities to cancer research and is financed by a percentage of the sales of Earthly Body personal care products and private donations and sponsorship. The foundation created a buzz in the fundraising world because 100 percent of the gross revenue from charity events is donated to the intended source. In addition, it also operates without any administrative salaries and is completely volunteer run.

The “Concert for Hope” event will be held from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Sagebrush Cantina in Old Town Calabasas at 23527 Calabasas Rd. General admission tickets are 10 dollars and 50 dollars for VIP.  VIP ticket holders will enjoy a complimentary dinner, T-shirt and Earthly Body all-natural personal care product gift bag. Tickets will be available at the door or in advance at www.abuse-assaultservices.org, by email at info@gettogetherfoundation.com or by phone at (818) 903-8319.
