Moxies Have Zero Tolerance For Gender Violence

On June 3, all nine Moxies volunteered at the Sanctuary for Families Zero Tolerance benefit.

By being part of this event, we pledged:

I will no longer be a bystander to gender violence.
I will speak up when I hear a sexist comment.
I will learn more about the impact of gender violence.
I will speak out about gender violence in all its forms.
I will speak up for those who have been silenced.
I will talk to my children about healthy relationships. (Not relevant to us yet, but nonetheless important!)

Here are some photos from the night:

The event raised $1.9 million towards helping and advocating for victims of domestic violence and sex trafficking.  It was an honor to be a part of it.
