Puppy Parade for Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Strut your Pup virtually, or in-person, for Houghton’s “Dial Help’s” Puppy Parade this Wednesday. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and “Dial Help’s” wants to raise the public’s awareness. Unfortunately, Sexual Assault is not an easy subject to address but by bringing awareness it can create safer communities.
Sexual assault happens everywhere, including here in the U.P. Resources like “Dial Help’s Victim Services Program” are available to offer free and confidential support.
The Puppy Parade is Wednesday at 6 pm at Dial Help’s downtown office (pre-registration encouraged); or, to participate virtually, post a picture of yourself and your pet on social media with the hashtag #CopperCountrySAAM until April 25th.
