Dining for DV is a fundraiser supporting CAWC during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. We are aiming to partner with 31 local restaurants and businesses for all 31 days of October to raise over $25,000 through affiliate marketing and generous donations. Our hope is to bring more customers to your doorstep while also raising awareness about domestic violence and CAWC’s services throughout our shared communities.
By participating, you will select a Give Back Day to donate a portion of the day’s proceeds. In return, we will provide to you a host of visibility opportunities including, but not limited to, access to over 7,000 new customers through CAWC promotions, logo placement on the official Dining for DV website calendar (see example below), and local press coverage when applicable.
If you’re interested in participating, please click the button below to sign up or email us at development@cawc.org. We will follow up to coordinate details and provide additional information once you’ve chosen a day!
