Fund

Tina's Fund For Domestic Violence Awareness is a non-profit corporation and was founded to honor the life of Tina Weaver Labriola, a 35 year-old New Jersey resident. She was a bubbly, compassionate, vibrant mother, daughter and sister who was trying to break the cycle of violence when she was murdered. Through this work we believe we can help to break the silence and work towards ending relationship violence through educating our children.

We are in the process of planning our 7th Annual Cinderella Sales. Please check our Event Page for information.

YOU HEAR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

You're taking your nightly walk when you hear a fight going on at a neighbor's house. Suddenly you hear a slap, a thud and the sound of a woman crying hysterically.

What should you do: If you think domestic violence is taking place, immediately call 911. Don't make the mistake of assuming that someone else already called for help and never, ever go to the door to check if things are OK. In cases of domestic violence, passions are usually involved and that can be used against you. Professional training is necessary to handle these situations.

Domestic violence is a crime just like robbery or assualt. Report it.

Schools should be obligated to teach teens the warning signs of abusive relationships and broach the subject head-on so they don't turn into victims and if they are they would feel empowered to get help and leave their abusive partner. Students should be able to recognize that some behavior like obsessive text messaging for instance or physical control are unacceptable and possible precursors to violence.

On March 25th we will be holding 2 Prom Fashion Shows. Please see our Event Page for complete details.
