SOS Strong is in the books.
The sixth annual fundraiser kept to its traditional format of having men trying to raise at least $1,000 each while representing SOS and its mission of ending domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and neglect. And it did well — just under $30,000 already collected with more coming in.
SOS Director Connie Cahoone says this is a big number, given the current economy.
Jim Lohmeyer of Osage City was the top fundraiser with over $5,200 generated. What was his biggest takeaway from being involved?
The most creative fundraiser was KVOE’s Tagan Trahoon.
Participants take a special pledge to lead by example, never blame victims, be a “positive upstander,” not engage in acts of violence, stand up for others in need and speak up for what is right at all times.
Proceeds will help to cover budget areas that aren’t covered by grants as well as immediate client support.
