12🎁🎄 On the twelfth day of Christmas…
How this works:
You pledge to donate more than $5 (more is so much merrier) to any of the charities featured for the 12 days. You can state your pledge in the comments, by DM, or in person at Pinwheel Gallery in Cleveland.
If you have the highest pledge, you will be notified and once you send proof that you have fulfilled your pledge, the associated painting is yours to take home at the Closing Reception on Friday, January 3rd!
The final day to pledge is Saturday, December 28th. December 27th the current high pledges will be shared in case you want to increase yours.
No part of this donation goes to the gallery or the artist.
Today’s charity in their own words:
Cleveland R**e Crisis Center
Cleveland R**e Crisis Center supports survivors of r**e and sexual abuse, promotes healing and prevention, and advocates for social change. Each year, over 46,500 people, one-third of them youth, find support by participating in the Center’s counseling, advocacy and education programs in Cuyahoga County, Ashtabula County, Geauga County and Lake County.
Vision
Our vision is the elimination of sexual violence.
Mission
Cleveland R**e Crisis Center supports survivors of r**e and sexual abuse, promotes healing and prevention and advocates for social change.
History
Cleveland R**e Crisis Center was founded in 1974 in response to Cleveland’s long-standing need for services to assist survivors of sexual assault.
Before the 1970s, most people who had suffered sexual abuse suffered in silence. Feelings of guilt, shame or fear kept these women, children and men from speaking out about, much less reporting, their assaults. Only in recent years has their silence been broken, in part by their outrage and refusal to accept misplaced blame, and in part by their knowledge that others will be there to support them.
