Nominating Process Begins for Annual Award

by Joy Donovan on December 18, 2009

The deadline is Dec. 31 for nominations for SafeHaven of Tarrant County’s 2nd Annual Legacy of Men Award.

The Legacy of Men Award honors a man who works or lives in Tarrant County and who has made important contributions to the fight against domestic violence. Last year’s recipient was Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboy tight end. The football standout founded the SCORE Foundation, which funds a male-mentor position in domestic violence shelters across Texas, including SafeHaven.

This year’s breakfast will be held on Feb. 15, and Mack Brown, head football coach at the University of Texas, will be the event’s keynote speaker.

To obtain a nomination form, visit www.safehaventc.org or call 817-535-6462, ext. 119 or email smbrandt@safehaventc.org.

SafeHaven of Tarrant County, a nonprofit organization, works to end family violence through safety, support, prevention and social change. SafeHaven’s two emergency shelters, one in Arlington and one in Fort Worth, accommodate more than 17o women and children, making SHTC one of the largest shelters in Texas.
