Organization Mission:
Statement will bring education and awareness to the prevention of dating abuse while promoting leadership and character development among today's youth. Statement believes that awareness, prevention and leadership are key in the fight against dating abuse and character building skills. Statement is proud to help diminish the cycle of dating abuse while placing active young leaders within our community. These leaders will have a direct positive impact on their peers and the community as a whole.
Dating abuse is an epidemic among today's youth. Many young men and women feel like they don't measure up in looks, school performance and relationships. Statement has two powerful life-changing programs designed to help young women and men rise above these statistics.
Statement has two programs offered for youth ages 12 – 24. The REDFLAG program is designed for young women and the CONTROL program is for young men. Statement also has a volunteer outreach program as well. Both the REDFLAG and the CONTROL programs will empower young men and women to recognize their value and potential. These seven-week educational courses are taught in a comfortable and fun environment amongst peers. These programs educate youth to identify and prevent unhealthy relationships. Both programs will be instrumental in developing leaders within our community. These leaders will bring about change in the lives of others while accepting nothing less than healthy relationships within their own life.
Students will learn day-to-day leadership skills such as creative self-expression, community service, conflict resolution and avoiding abusive relationships. Participants will come away with a better understanding of the following: defining true values, setting clear boundaries, effective goal setting techniques, applying respect in their everyday life, how to recognize warning signs of dating abuse, how to identify different forms of dating abuse, how to nurture healthy relationships with parents and friends, increase their self-esteem and how to actively give back in their community through volunteering.
It costs Statement approximately $35.00 per student to attend the program. A monthly donation will help cover the cost for students to attend the 7-week program and assist with further training and development to reach more youth.

Elevations- A Children's Therapy Resource Foundation
What we do: Elevations offers grant opportunities to cover the costs of therapy or therapeutic equipment for children with special needs in the greater Spokane area.
Elevations was established in 2012 by committed medical professionals, families and community members who have seen too many children with physical and mental challenges who could be helped by therapy- but who have limited or no resources to meet the cost. The financial burden these families face is substantial.
Our Mission: Helping children with special needs reach their full potential by providing access to the resources and support they need to improve their overall quality of life.
Our organization works with therapy providers in the greater Spokane area to identify and qualify children and families for grants. Grants may cover all or part of the cost of a course of therapy and/or therapeutic devices. Unfortunately, these children's needs are not being fully met through healthcare coverage and diminished state funding. Therefore, Elevations was created to fill that gap. Our organization is funded only by donations and grants. Children ages 0-18 who live in the greater Spokane area can qualify for financial resources.
In the past year, Elevations has been honored to help over 30 families receive therapeutic services and equipment that they otherwise could not afford. This year our goal is to raise $75,000 to help more deserving children.
Will you help us reach our goal?
