‘SOS STRONG’ RAISES
OVER $16,000 FOR SOS
By Jessie Wagoner
[email protected]
While most men are not
violent in their relationships, SOS believes that
even one man is one too
many. With this in mind,
“SOS Strong” was created.
Connie Cahoone, executive director of SOS says
that “SOS Strong” raised
over $16,000 for SOS this
year.
“SOS Strong” is a group
of 10 men dedicated to
helping SOS stop domestic
violence and child abuse
by raising $1,000 each to
support SOS programs.
“SOS Strong ” kicked off
on Aug. 1 and concluded
Aug. 21.
“SOS Strong ” members Scott Briggs, Tyler
Curtis, Richard Duncan,
Britton Hart, John Keosybounheuang, Joe Lauer,
Bobby Thompson, Kyle
Thompson, Ty Wheeler
and AJ Dome started with
a goal to raise $1,000 each.
Thompson says that at
first he was a bit nervous
about trying to raise the
money as he had never
fundraised before.
“This was my first attempt at doing some fundraising like this so I was
pretty scared starting off
— $1,000 seems like a
lot of money,” Thompson
said. “However, people really pulled through here in
the community and it ended up not being a tough
sale. I would say that 90
percent of my donors were
male, which I was very excited about.”
The men reached out to
family members, friends
and co-workers to raise
the funds. In the process
of fundraising they also
spread the message about
SOS throughout the community. Cahoone says that
the men did a great job of
reaching community members that were previously
unaware of SOS and the
programs offered.
“I think that we have
touched people that we
never touched before to
tell them about SOS,”
Cahoone said. “We have
Shelter adds impound fee
The Emporia Animal Shelter will begin charging a
daily fee of $20 Tuesday for animals that are impounded for quarantine. Animals are quarantined when they
bite a human or another animal or kill another animal.
Usually the animal has to be quarantined for 10 days to
determine if it has rabies or any other type of disease.
Owners may choose to use the shelter or a private veterinarian office. Information: 340-6345.
Swim lessons
Registration for fall swim lessons is open through
Sept. 10. All abilities accepted. Lessons are Monday/
Wednesday evening, Tuesday/Thursday evening and
Saturday morning at the Lee Beran Recreation Center
at 313 W. 4th Ave. For more information call 340-6300
or visit our website at emporiarec.org.
Ribbon cuttings
The Emporia Area Chamber of Commerce will have
two ribbon cuttings Tuesday. The first is at 10 a.m. at
Fanestil Meats Fresh Local Market, 4700 W. U.S. Highway 50. The second is at 5 p.m. at new clothing store
French Lily, 1121 Commercial St.
Ribbon cuttings are free and the public is encouraged to attend.
received donations from
people that have never donated to SOS. I think getting the message of SOS
into the community and
into the hands of donors
has just been a blessing.
The guys have just been
fabulous.”
Hart raised the most
money with Keosybounheuang coming in a close
second. Hart said that participating in “SOS Strong”
was a way he could give
back to the community.
“This is a way I can give
back,” Britton Hart said. “I
have three daughters and a
wife and I think, honestly,
the more I can know about
SOS and the programs
they have the more I can
ensure that my daughters’
well-being are taken care
of. I think it is important
to help educate the community as much as possible.”
This all-male fundraiser was designed to show
that men are more than
abusers, controllers and
runaway fathers. Children
need to know men can be
positive influences and
compassionate people.
The community needs to
see that abuse is not just
a woman’s problem: it’s everyone’ s problem.
“SOS Strong gave these
men the opportunity to
raise money for programs
that fight for safety every
day,” Cahoone said. “They
are standing up for someone in need and being positive upstanders and we
sincerely appreciate them
participating in this grassroots endeavor.”
