On March 8, the WCA partnered with the Alpha Chi Omega sorority at Boise State University. Despite some cloudy skies and rain showers, there was a great turnout of passionate BSU students who shared the reasons they say no more to domestic abuse.

Donor Spotlight: Aiden
 We received a heartwarming note and donation last month from Aiden who is in the fourth grade. We reached out to Aiden’s parents to learn how he came to be so generous at such a young age. Proud Dad shared that “Aiden is a natural born caretaker, always watching out for his friends, his family, especially his little sister. He is generally the student at school who looks out for the younger students, or the students dealing with bullies.”
