Times are tough on everyone but have you thought about the individuals that are victims of a crime and don't know where to turn? Who would you turn to if you were assaulted by a family member, neighbor or a complete stranger? Who would you call to help you through the criminal justice process after a loved one was murdered? We know who we contacted in the year 1993, after our daughter Cher was murdered.
Victim Outreach Information (VOI) is a private non-profit 501(c) 3 agency that provides assistance to over 4,000 people who are hurt by crime each year. With the help of dedicated volunteers, VOI supports victims of crime and trauma from the time of crises and throughout the criminal justice process. Their mission is to empower victims to access resources that protect their rights and promote safety, healing and most of all hope.
On July 31st 1stBank and Victim Outreach Information will have their 5th Annual "Fairway to Fairness" Golf Tournament and Sunset Soiree fundraiser at one of the 10 best courses in the Country -- Fossil Trace Golf Club in Golden. My husband and I are asking you to please come and join us and open up your hearts and wallets and donate to this much needed agency.
