Save Jane

Description

On October 2, 2020, surrounding area residents are invited to join Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center in taking a stand against child abuse at Market Square in Fredericksburg with the area’s first ever Save Jane event. For 10 hours straight, volunteers from around Fredericksburg will read the names and ages of over 10,000 alleged child victims of abuse reported in 2019 in eleven of Virginia’s counties/cities. Because victim identities must be protected, “Jane Doe” and “John Doe” will be used in place of their names. The national Save Jane inaugural event launched in Dallas, Texas last year. This is the first year for Safe Harbor to join in the awareness effort. Safe Harbor welcomes all residents to take a turn at the microphone and participate in this impactful event by reading a selection of names. To volunteer to read names, please visit Safe Harbor’s Signup Genius page at https://tinyurl.com/yar993hl. Sponsorship opportunities are available. To learn more, call Safe Harbor at 540-891-6280.
