Dear Community Member/Business Leader, 

Violence against women will not go away if we just shut our eyes to it. The Will County Take Back the Night steering committee is asking for your help in opening eyes to an insidious problem in all of our communities.

In the past, many of you have generously responded with donations, as well as attended our annual vigil and march. Again we come to you – our friends and members of the community – for help rallying attention to our cause and providing support to victims, victims’ families and survivors of violence.

The 15th annual Will County Take Back the Night will take place on Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. at Joliet West High School at 401 N. Larkin Avenue, Joliet. Our guest speaker this year is Carmina Salcido, the lone survivor from her family's 1989 murder at the hands of her father Ramon Salcido, who left her for dead in a garbage dump. Ms. Salcido has written about this nightmare and her attempt to restart her life in her new book, Not Lost Forever.

We will honor the women and children who have been murdered in Will County over the last ten years, and those who have survived, with a candlelight vigil. Information on how women can get help locally will also be provided.

Please support Will County Take Back the Night by committing to a sponsorship level listed on the sponsorship letter.  By sponsoring this event, you will help make a difference in the lives of many by providing support to local agencies that work with victims of violence. This year, in honor of our 15th anniversary, we have set a fundraising goal of $15,000. Any amount that you can give towards helping us achieve this goal will be greatly appreciated, and your financial support will be noted in our program book.

Last year, your donations helped us provide $8,000 of assistance to non-profit agencies that work directly with women and children whose lives were affected by violence.  Another way you can help is to post the enclosed flier in your workplace announcing the vigil and march event.

For more information about the event, go to the Will County Take Back the Night website at http://www.willtbtn.com or contact Julie Oetter at (815) 723-2227 x 211.

Thank you,

Will County Take Back the Night
2011 Steering Committee
