Nonprofit Causes of the Day

Jobsite Theater

I have been trying to organize a Jobsite Theater fundraiser. Until that happens I'm asking you to help the Tampa theatre company with a donation. The company was big winner at the Creative Loafing Best of the Bay awards. Help them continue providing Tampa with great theatre.

The Pretty Bird Woman House

Far too many women have experienced domestic violence, homelessness and sexual abuse. The Pretty Bird Woman House in South Dakota provides aid to women in need. These are the services PBWH has provided within a year's time.

* Served a total of 614 individuals with education and services.
* Answered 397 crisis calls
* Provided emergency shelter to 188 women and 132 children.
* Helped 23 women obtain restraining orders, 10 get divorces, and 16 get medical assistance
* Provided court advocacy support for 28 women, and
* Conducted community education programs for 360 women.

The shocker is PBWH have only a staff of three.

The house the they bought was vandalized and burned down. They need to raise $70,000.
Their current fundraising total is $24,341.01 Please help them get a new house to shelter women.
