MEN Challenge Celebration

Please join us to celebrate the 1st anniversary of our Men Ending violeNce (MEN) Challenge!

Center for Victims is hosting the 1^st annual MEN Challenge Event in honor and recognition of the 265 men (and counting!) who have signed on to the MEN challenge, committed to this initiative and its value, and who embody CV’s violence prevention efforts in this region.

This exclusive event gives attendees the opportunity to network and engage with other men who are committed to violence prevention. It will also serve as a way to recruit and introduce new members to the MEN Challenge so that the group can grow and continue to change social norms and make a greater impact in our region. 

"Bring a Buddy"!  Anyone who brings a friend to this event is eligible for $10 off admission price, using code CVBUDDY, so bring a buddy and take part in the opportunity to discuss the campaign's goals and next steps with other professionals and community change-makers. 

Men who have shown a greater interest and who have worked on specific prevention and/or awareness projects will be highlighted and nominated for the MEN Challenge award. The winner of this award will be announced at the event and honored during the 10^th Anniversary of Center for Victims’ Peace It Together Awards Celebration on March 12, 2015 at Pittsburgh’s Grand hall at The Priory.

The MEN Challenge is designed to encourage men to make a commitment to learn more about how to be a proactive bystander and speak out about violence against women and girls. This is an ongoing campaign, pledge and action plan to engage men in our work in Allegheny County.
