MASON CITY – Sexual assault awareness month will be observed this April with a series of events:
Writing on the Wall
Wednesday, April 6th, 2016 1:00-7:00 p.m., Music Man Square
Come help build a wall of support brick-by-brick for survivors of abuse. Survivors and their supporters are encouraged to design a brick with either a message they feel must be heard about abuse or a message of encouragement to survivors. The wall will then be displayed in the community to help spread awareness about sexual abuse.
Together. In TEAL.
