Earlier this month, a few of our team members had the pleasure of attending the United Way of Dubuque Area Tri-States Campaign Kick Off Breakfast.

Thank you to Brian Kipp of The Warehouse Salon for pledging to be an Exceptional Gentleman! Brian shared that men play an important role in creating safer, stronger communities by “being a strong example to the children in our community, both their own and others. They do this by showing what it means to be respectful to others, showing kindness to others, and what it means to show affection and love in a supportive way.”

We’re grateful for Brian and all the men standing up to support our Victim Services and Caring Dads programs and help end violence in our community.We’re still looking for more men to pledge! Pledge for yourself or a gentleman you know today: https://givebutter.com/gentleman-campaign-yj0uux
