Where does a single mother go to when she has been systemically abused by her partner (whether physically or mentally)? Maybe a relative's home. Maybe a church.
Or, she could be helped in our region by the House of Ruth Maryland, one of the outstanding charity partners for The Pink Event® 2016 (March 6, 2016 at the BWI Airport Marriott in Linthicum).
This women's shelter not only specializes in the dynamics of intimate partner violence but it helps thousands of battered women and their children find the safety and security to start a new chapter in their lives.
With a 24-hour hotline and client service coordinators who work with victims, the emergency shelter has 23 private rooms for women and children who are in imminent danger.
The nonprofit organization also provides free legal advice, individual and group counseling, therapeutic services for children, community-based prevention programs, and abuse intervention.
As part of The Pink Event's commitment to showcasing women-focused causes, the expo will donate 20% of ticket sales, 20% of ad sales, and 100% of net proceeds from our event charity raffles (and other select proceeds) to our charity partners.
