Hacienda on First Avenue Holds Fundraiser for Local Charity to Fight CSA
By Scottie Thomas
This Sunday, October 20th, 2013 at the Hacienda on First Avenue, The Shades 4 U Foundation will participate in the ‘Gives Back Fiesta!’ All day from open to close, if you present one of the tickets from the charitable organization, the establishment will donate 20% of your bill (before taxes and minus comps).
Customers will need to print out a ticket and staple it to their receipts in order to receive the 20% donation. You can also go to the website: http://shades4ufoundation.wix.com/main or visit The Shades 4 U Foundation on Facebook to receive the ticket off as well.
According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, approximately one out of every for girls and one out of every six boys will be sexually assaulted before the age of eighteen. Among the statistics, less than half of assaults are reported to the police and the proper authorities.
Child Sexual Abuse is clearly an issue amongst our community, but awareness on the topic is low. With such a small amount of recognition, this fundraiser will surely shed more light on the situations at hand and also bring a greater sense of awareness to the community.
The Shades 4 U Foundation, which was established in August 2012, is an up-start, non-profit organization that helps the community (both locally and regionally) fight against Child Sexual Abuse (CSA).
