October 2, 2006
11:30am-12:30pm
Held each year on the West Steps of Colorado‘s State Capitol Building in Denver

CCADV will welcome an inspiring group of speakers as we mourn those who have died, celebrate those who have survived, and connect those who work together to end domestic violence in all its forms.

Please join us, bring banners from your agency or signs reflecting this year‘s theme "Ripples of Hope," and wear purple!

CCADV‘s Survivors’ Task Force will also present the first annual Community Impact Award. This award will honor an individual or a group of individuals who put the voice and welfare of Survivors at the forefront of their work. The Survivors‘ Task Force created this award as a reflection of their commitment to education and service.

The recipient need not be a Survivor, but must recognize and value the role of Survivors in the decision making and policy creating aspects of the domestic violence movement.

The Survivors‘ Task Force is now accepting applications for the Community Impact Award. For additional eligibility and nomination submission information, please click here.
