Valentine s Anytime
February 14th only comes once a year, but Break the Cycle encourages you to celebrate love and healthy relationships all year round! Valentine’s Anytime is a fun way for anyone and everyone to get involved in the movement to end domestic violence. Throw a cocktail party, a dinner party, even a potluck, a wine tasting or a tea party. Invite your close friends and family to a simple get together or make it a themed singles mixer.
By hosting a Valentine’s Anytime Party you can help raise awareness about teen domestic violence, an epidemic which affects one-third of teenagers. Young women, age 16 to 24, experience the highest domestic violence rates of any age group. You can better equip yourself and your guests to recognize the signs of an abusive relationship and help a young person in need. You can also encourage guests to take political action to help change harmful and inadequate teen dating violence laws.
Instead of guests bringing a bottle of wine, flowers or a gift for the host, ask for a donation – the amount is up to you. All donations will benefit Break the Cycle’s life-saving teen domestic violence work. Learn more about Break the Cycle’s programs for youth.
Once your party is over, send us the pics and a brief story about it and we will feature it on our website.
We’ve got some great ideas to get you started, no matter what your partying style! Simply register your party and gain access to tons of party planning materials!
If you can’t host a party, you can still donate.
