Safe Harbor of Northeast Kentucky will hold its 14th annual Cornerstone Awards and 1,000 Women (and Men) fundraising campaign luncheon on Thursday, March 27th, noon, at Bellefonte Country Club. This year’s hostess for the event will be Dr. Candy Boykin, board member at Safe Harbor.
The domestic violence shelter and outreach facility will present its annual Cornerstone Awards during the luncheon, said Ann Perkins, Safe Harbor executive director. The awards honor individuals who have been instrumental in the organization’s growth during the past 40 years and this year we will honor Steve Gilmore, Jesse & Tina Hunt, the Kentucky Bar Foundation, Lori Mansbach Moore, and the Pallottine Foundation. These individuals or companies will be honored for their dedication and service to help the
families at Safe Harbor.
Safe Harbor serves domestic violence victims across the FIVCO area of Boyd, Greenup, Carter, Elliott, and Lawrence counties. Over the past few years, Safe Harbor has consistently housed more than double the number of women and children compared to previous years. During the past 40 years, Safe Harbor has provided a safe- haven for more than 20,000 women, children, and men.
The 1,000 Women (and Men) Campaign asks residents to make a financial pledge to help continue vital services, such as expanded substance abuse education and care for residents and enhanced children’s programs and counseling. Funds also will assist with continued renovation work across Safe Harbor’s campus. Pledges may be in the form of a one-time gift or may be spread out over a period of years, Mrs. Perkins said.
