CO-SPONSOR OF THE EVENT
The Sharon Fisher Bassett Memorial Fund which was founded in September 2005 to fight Domestic Violence and Eating Disorders. We are dedicated to raising community awareness concerning domestic violence, sexual abuse, sexual assault and their connection to eating disorders. This awareness can be achieved through educating individuals, families, schools, universities, civic organizations and communities on local, regional and national levels. By promoting, organizing and financially supporting forums, lectures, workshops and other community projects and programs we believe that a deeper consciousness can be gained on all levels, attitudes can be enlightened, healthier choices can be made and lives can be changed.Changing lives one day at a time.
As an outreach from our first magazine The one I started a section entitled Picking up the pieces for women and professionals to write about Domestic Violence and Eating Disorders. There are several contributions from Remuda Ranch which can be seen on our website launched April 30 2009 www.aroseforsharon.org You may contact us through the website or by email mbkaminski@tds.net MaryAnne@aroseforsharon.org 570-356-2962 or 570-594-7504
