DRIVE AWAY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Join The Campbell River and North Island Transition Society for the 4th ANNUAL CHARITY GOLF EVENT TO HELP DRIVE AWAY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!

This year’s golf tournament takes place Saturday, June 22 at Storey Creek Golf Course.

For the fourth consecutive year, golf fans looking to enjoy a day on the course, while raising funds to help women and children impacted by domestic violence.

The fourth annual Drive Away Domestic Violence Charity Golf Day will feature a shotgun start at 2pm, a silent auction, a 50/50 draw and a delicious meal for a cost of $170 (prior to June 2) and $190 after. The CRNITS goal is to raise funds to continue to provide services to women, and their children, impacted by violence, abuse, homelessness, poverty, mental health challenges and/or substance misuse. Underfunded programs such as the Women’s Center, located in Eagle Harbour are just one of these important programs.

“Women are often reluctant to escape violence and have difficulties in moving forward in their lives due to the lack of appropriate, safe, affordable housing,” Palmer said. “It is for this reason that we are working hard to provide more housing in our community with the addition of Eagle Harbour.”

The Campbell River and North Island Transition Society also operates the Ann Elmore Transition House and Rose Harbour Transitional Housing in Campbell River as well as safe homes in remote locations. The Ann Elmore House is a short-term emergency shelter which provides shelter, support, food, clothing and necessities for women and children at risk of abuse or violence. They also offer detox, supportive recovery, and stabilization programs. Rose Harbour is a program which includes time-limited subsidized housing and services for clients who are impacted by homelessness, abuse, violence and/or substance misuse. The Society also offers child and youth support services, outreach services, a 24-hour telephone help line and more. Under their umbrella of services is the Women’s Drop-in Center that provides much needed services such as drop-in crisis counselling, poverty relief items, referrals to services and more.
