American Airlines TCF Grant

February 6, 2012

Chapel Hill News--Opinion Section

Roses to American Airlines for awarding a $4,000 grant to the Orange County Rape Crisis Center.

These funds from the American Airlines Kids Are Something Special Endowment of the Triangle Community Foundation will support the center's Community Education program, which works to prevent sexual violence in our community.

The Safe Touch program teaches local elementary school students to identify and report unwanted touches and to "say no, get away, and tell someone." Lessons for middle school students include Internet safety and cyberbullying, preventing sexual bullying, and learning the confidence and skills to safely intervene when witnessing bullying. These education efforts prevent violence in our schools and lay the groundwork for preventing violence as adults.
