WE THANK YOU!

The Mental Health Association of Columbia-Greene Counties with REACH Services would like to thank the community for your remarkable support of our One Billion Rising events.

One Billion Rising is an international call to men and women to refuse to accept violence against women and girls as a given.

The agency sponsored three local events on February 14th, and a fundraiser play, The Vagina Monologues, at Stageworks/Hudson on February 15th.   We had a sold out crowd at the theatre.  A very special thanks to the following for their support:
