The Big Payback

Now’s the time – The Big Payback is here!

 

 

 

     We’ve been counting down the days to The Big Payback, and it’s finally here! The excitement surrounding 24 hours of Middle Tennesseans coming together to support the nonprofit community is contagious. And thanks to supporters like you, we are able to continue our vital work in bridging the gaps to reduce health disparities while making a positive impact in Middle Tennessee.   In the past three years, more than $6.75 million has been raised for our community. Let’s rally together to make The Big Payback 2018 even BIGGER.   

 

 

Our Cause Domestic violence can happen to anyone of any race, age, sexual orientation, religion or gender. It can happen to couples who are married, living together or who are dating. Domestic violence affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels.

 

 

  • One in four women (25%) has experienced domestic violence in her lifetime.

  • Nearly three out of four (74%) of Americans personally know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence

  • On average, more than three women and one man are murdered by their intimate partners in this country every day

 

Abuse is physical, sexual, emotional, economic or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that frighten, intimidate, terrorize, manipulate, hurt, humiliate, blame, injure or wound someone. Take a stand with us and help us stop domestic violence in Nashville Davidson county and surrounding areas. Our mission is to bridge the gaps to reduce health disparities. The women and children of our community are counting on your time and donations. Thank you so much in advance for your support.
