Spread the Love 2017 Event
Broad Stripes and Bright Stars 2015 Event
Broad Stripes and Bright Stars 2013 Event with Project Sanctuary
Excerpt from Katy Moses Higgins website.
A huge thank you from the Women of Evergreen Businesses to everyone who supported the Broad Stripes Bright Stars fundraising event the first week of November, 2014. We had a big – and enthusiastic – turnout from the community, heard some amazing stories, and had a great time with good music and delicious food.
The funds raised from this event went to Project Sanctuary. Project Sanctuary provides a therapeutic, curative, and supportive camp experience for military service members returning from our nation’s wars and conflicts, and their families.

No More Silence 2014 Event
Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success! We had almost 200 attendees, and MANY, MANY others who contributed to the event, either by volunteering, cash donations, or silent auction item donations.
Project Sanctuary assists military service members returning from our nation’s wars and conflicts by reconnecting their family unit through a holistic approach, healing the effects of war, treating all members of the family at their level of need, and enabling the service members to reintegrate into their families and communities by sending them on a 6-day retreat in the Rocky Mountains, CO, National ability Center in UT, and Mount Herman in CA at no cost to the participating families. How our fundraising helps: At our last fundraiser, we were able to send 10 families to this retreat. Through Project Sanctuary’s efforts, 90% of couples and families are still together, there is a 100% employment rate of all service men and women who have a job, and there have been ZERO suicides.
Suicide/Veteran’s Crisis Text Line:
838255
The Carson J Spencer Foundation (CJSF) uses innovation to create a world where leaders and communities are committed to sustaining a passion for living in our schools and businesses. Nationally, suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death for youth, in adults 70% of people who die by suicide are of working age, and 4 out of every 5 people who die by suicide are men (CDC). How our fundraising helps: By partnering with the youth through “The Fire Within” program which we are passionate that our schools incorporate, the CJSF can help them identify the root causes of suicidal thoughts and provide effective solutions. The CJSF also provides businesses with tools and resources to identify and respond to friends, family members and co-workers who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts or feelings, as well as provide people who have lost a loved one to suicide the age-appropriate grief support tools and educational material to help them heal.
One of the highlights of the evening was when Julie Ballard, Paula Yerks, Bonnie Rose and Jack Ballard sang, “No More Silence”, by the Burns Sisters. Below are the lyrics:
No more silence.
No more silence.
We will shout it out.
No More Silence
—
For the mother,
Sister, brother.
We will shout it out.
No more silence.
—
For our children,
Who will carry on,
We will shout it out.
No more silence.
—
For our friends gone.
Who will carry on?
We will shout it out.
No more silence.
—
we’ll walk side by side,
Together stand and fight
We will shout it out.
NO MORE SILENCE.
