Enid YWCA kicks off sponsorship drive
The YWCA kicked off its annual sponsorship drive this month with a goal of raising $30,000, and doubling the total number of sponsors.
Held each year in March, the sponsorship drive allows the YWCA to continue to provide free emergency services for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, and quality youth enrichment events such as the annual Girl Power Rally and Children's Christmas Sale.
Enid's YWCA has a long history in Enid, beginning in the 1920s when the organization provided the first employment services for women and Enid's first interracial programs. In 1979, the organization opened Option House, a shelter for battered women and their children, after employees saw a need in Garfield County for emergency domestic violence services.
The YWCA is also one of the founding members of the Oklahoma Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault.
The sponsorship drive will continue through March. For information about becoming a sponsor, call (580) 234-7581. The YWCA is located at 525 S. Quincy, across the street from Bass Hospital.
