“You Are Saving Lives”

Rose Brooks Center’s commitment and mission is about saving and changing lives. We are excited and proud to share with you our 2019 Impact Report. This report details the impact we have made through services provided to survivors, and accomplishments with our community partners as we work together to hold offenders accountable and keep victims safe. It is presented with deep appreciation to all of you, who have helped make this possible. You are saving lives.

We have encountered some significant challenges this past year, and faced our own personal losses and tragedies, but have been able to rise above them and continue to work together and provide the best services possible. We assisted the mayor in a new gun ordinance, restricting gun access to convicted and dangerous abusers, which he has shared statewide and with the governor. And we continue to be recognized by the community, funders, and throughout the country, for best practices in the field of domestic violence, advocacy, and fiscal excellence.

I know I am so very proud of all the work we have accomplished. But I am also extraordinarily honored that our community continues to stand behind us in our work. Every day, and every year, you are helping us reach our mission to break the cycle of domestic violence so that individuals and families can live free from abuse. For this, we are forever grateful.

Sincerely,
Susan Miller, CEO
