In place since 2015, SOS Strong is designed to demonstrate men can be positive role models in the battle against sexual and domestic violence of all kinds. Ambassadors pledge to raise at least $1,000 to support SOS programs. This year, the first $5,000 raised will be matched by Kat and Tamir Zuckerman.
As has been the case since the fundraiser began, ambassadors pledge to lead by example, not to blame victims or engage in any acts of violence, stand up for those in need, be positive upstanders and to always speak up for what is right.
Fundraising runs through July 20. SOS Director Connie Cahoone will talk more about the SOS Strong effort during KVOE’s Newsmaker segment at 7:20 am Thursday.
