October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month…
I hope you're all ready for tonight's Pink Out at our game versus Atascadero. In addition to pink, our football team will be wearing purple Domestic Violence Awareness ribbons on their helmets. This season, our team has taken a stand against abuse in relationships. Join them by stopping by the Stand Strong table to sign a pledge, get a purple bracelet, and learn more about the work Stand Strong does in our community.
**Stand Strong disclaimer: If you or anyone you know is experiencing abuse, you can call the Stand Strong 24-hour Crisis & Information line at (805) 781-6400.
