Safe City
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)
In honor of efforts to end sexual violence and help survivors find healing, SAC will be hosting several events. You'll have opportunities to learn more about sexual harassment and assault, how to help stop it, and how to support survivors in the aftermath of their experience.
Find our #30daysofSAAM calendar below. You can follow along with us on social media.
Do you have questions about how you can engage with SAC during SAAM? Reach out to Development Specialist, Atarah A.M. Smith at ataraham@sacenter.org.
Double Your Impact
In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we're raising $30,217.56 -- the cost of a survivor's services at SAC from the Medical Legal Exam (rape kit) to the emergency financial assistance. Our supporters allow us to serve survivors regardless of their ability to pay. That is one less stressor for them to worry about after such a traumatizing experience.
Help us reach our goal by donating today and DOUBLING your impact!

Visit a Safe Bar or Restaurant
Not familiar with Safe Bar? It's our bystander intervention training program designed specifically for bars and other alcohol-serving facilities.
The mission: to work with local bars & restaurants in raising awareness about alcohol's role in sexual assault, engaging bar owners and staff in bystander intervention, and working together to do our part to prevent sexual violence across Tennessee.
Saturday, April 20th, we're calling for our community to choose a local Safe Bar to visit. This is another great way for patrons to have peace of mind when they're out enjoying themselves. No one should have to worry about their drinks getting spiked or getting out of an unsafe situation with someone and feeling alone. Our Safe Bars are trained to help decrease those chances and to keep their guests safe.
