Our 7th Annual Against Abuse Inc., Seeds of Change Gala will be held February 25, 2012 at Province Town Hall. All proceeds go directly toward the establishment of an Against Abuse Inc. Women and Children’s shelter in Maricopa.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we were able to raise over $50,000 at the 2010 Gala event last April. It is our hope you will join us again this year as we continue our quest to build a much needed shelter facility in the City of Maricopa.

Our exciting news:  Maricopa City Council has approved  our site application request which includes the plans for the proposed building.

As we all know, domestic violence is a problem that is far more common than many of us realize. As a growing community, the City of Maricopa has the rare opportunity to address this important civic responsibility now, at the beginning of our new history.

Against Abuse, Inc. has provided social and behavioral health services in Pinal County, Arizona since 1981. Against Abuse, Inc. is a private non-profit organization dedicated to helping individuals and the community to understand the nature and effects of family violence and the resources available to meet the needs of those abused. In addition, the agency has taken a proactive role in providing a family focused, culturally sensitive continuum of prevention and intervention services to individuals and families in need of services.

Once again, the Seeds of Change Gala is looking for businesses, organizations, and individuals who are interested in helping to make the Against Abuse, Inc. shelter in Maricopa a reality. Each year we receive cash and in-kind donations which help to not only put on the event, but also fund all of our local activities in Maricopa. Please contact us today about the possibilities!
