On September 28th, 2016, Saheli, Support and Friendship for South Asian Women and Families will partner with the Allstate Foundation to end domestic violence. As Saheli celebrates its 20^th anniversary year, the organization will participate in the Purple Purse Challenge, a national online campaign that raises awareness about the financial aspects of domestic abuse, and raises funds to help empower the abused to leave. Throughout Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, agencies that raise the largest number of dollars will compete with each other for up to $100,000 in additional prizes and donations. Individual donors will enter to win prizes, too, including a purple purse designed by Kerry Washington.  

Saheli will be reaching out to you for support very soon. The Purple Purse crowd-funding page will “go live” on September 28^th at https://www.crowdrise.com/Saheli-PurplePurse2016. Please help Saheli get off to a strong start by donating generously and sending this message of support to your close friends and family.
