The event will also feature guest speakers throughout the day and several information booths presented by representatives from COC clubs and other SCV organizations with an interest in addressing the issue of domestic violence.  

“The day’s activities are intended to empower attendees to stand up against domestic violence and spread awareness in the community about this important issue,” said Connie Tripp, COC history instructor and one of the event’s organizers.  

Attendees will be invited to decorate a T-shirt in the name of a victim or survivor of domestic violence to be included as part of a college clothesline display.  

Event organizers will also be collecting dry and canned food items, diapers, baby wipes and other toiletries to be donated to the nonprofit humanitarian relief organization Help The Children (HTC).  

HTC is dedicated to alleviating the suffering of children and their families throughout the United States and around the world by providing food, clothing, personal care items and medical supplies to families in need.  

Cash and gift card donations will also be collected in support of the Domestic Violence Center of Santa Clarita.
