Intimate partner violence affects anyone,

is wrong or inappropriate and educate one another about healthy

relationships and where to go for help.
Lt. Mark Green, Pres.
We recently held our “Walk A Mile in Her Shoes” event. During this
event, men take a stand against violence in our community by

News From The Perry County Office...
As the Perry County Legal Coordinator and Advocate for Domestic Violence
Services of Cumberland and Perry Counties, I assist domestic violence
victims in obtaining Protection From Abuse Orders; accompany victims to
court proceedings; offer counseling to victims of domestic violence; and
advocate for Perry County victims of domestic violence.
I am a resident of Perry County and was thrilled to accept this position with
DVSCP at the Perry County Office. I came to the Perry County Office from
DVSCP’s Cumberland County location, where I worked for many months in
the emergency shelter. At the shelter, I assisted domestic violence victims
of both Cumberland and Perry County in obtaining permanent housing;
accompanied victims to medical appointments and/or court proceedings if
needed; and always listened whenever someone wanted to talk. My office in
Perry County is open to all of Perry County residents who need DVSCP’s
services or who simply need a listening ear.
I am an active member in the Perry County Partnership and Perry County
Crimestoppers. When I am not in my office on the New Bloomfield square,
I can be found out and about in the community. Some of the Perry County
events that I attend are the SuBeLex Festival in June, Newport Halloween
Parade, Perry County Fair, Newport Canal Days, and Family Fun Fest.
Christina Bohon-Prosser, Legal Advocate
DVSCP will be welcoming two new interns in the fall of 2014. DVSCP has

2013-2014 proved to be an extremely busy and successful year
for the Public Education Department!
During the 2013-2014 school year, our agency was able to speak with over 2,000 students in Cumberland and
Perry counties. The presentations were held at our local high schools and middle schools, juvenile delinquent
facilities, Shippensburg University, and Dickinson College. We were also able to speak with younger students
about healthy relationships and anti-bullying. Partnering with Dickinson College , we met with their peer
educators weekly to encourage and support their work toward a violence free campus.
Throughout February, in order to bring more awareness to the schools during National Teen Dating Violence
Month, we sold candy bars and asked the schools to read public service announcements. We thank Digiplex
Theaters for allowing us to bring awareness to the public at their theater during Valentine’s Day weekend. Our
agency also created an essay contest for high school students in our area. This contest not only allowed the
students to learn more about teen dating violence or share their experiences, but it also let the students
express creativity and work on their writing skills! We are hoping to continue this contest for years to come!
We expanded our church presentations to include more religious institutions in our community. Because of
our awareness efforts, multiple churches remembered our agency during Lent and other times of giving,
collecting donations, gift cards, and money each Sunday. We also were able to speak to youth groups at our
local churches to talk about teen dating violence and healthy relationships.
We continue to include Medical Advocacy in our outreach programs. Every month, presentations are given at
Carlisle Hospital and Holy Spirit Hospital to new nurses during orientation in order to provide awareness and
help them to understand how to screen for domestic violence.
We also attended many events and fairs in both counties to educate the community about our agency and the
issue of intimate partner violence. Presentations were made to businesses and community agencies/partners
in an effort to engage others and promote awareness.
During October which is Domestic Violence Awareness month, we held our annual Candlelight Vigil in honor
of victims and their families, promoted “An Empty Place at the Table” presentations, participated in local
Halloween parades, supplied local restaurants with educational place mats to use on their tables, and
displayed purple lighting off the Lieutenant Governor’s mansion and purple water at the Courthouse fountain
in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness month. During April, we participated in the local and state Victims’
Rights rallies and Take Back the Night at Dickinson College and Shippensburg University.
Through our outreach efforts, we hope to not only make everyone in the community more conscious of our
agency and this issue, but also to bring awareness to our younger population by promoting healthy
relationships in Cumberland and Perry Counties!

The 5th Annual Toni Clouse Myers Sunflower Ball, in memory of Toni,
was held at Saint Patrick’s Parrish Activity Center, on Saturday,
October 26, 2013.
Toni was a devoted mother of 3, dedicated friend
and family member, free spirit, and beautiful
person inside and out, who enjoyed making others
smile. The evening included hors d’ oeuvres, a
Silent and Tombola Auction, door prizes and a cash bar, all to celebrate Toni, raise
awareness about domestic violence and raise funds to support victims of Cumberland
and Perry Counties.
The event raised close to $24,000 to benefit Domestic Violence Services of Cumberland & Perry Counties,
P.O. Box 1039, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013. Over the past 5 years the Sunflower Ball raised over $135,000 for
DVSCP.
We thank the Clouse family, the committee, all those who attended, the sponsors, donors, and those who
prepared and donated the many Tombola, Silent auction and Door Prize items. Their many contributions
made this year’s event a tremendous success!
This year’s event
will be held:
Holiday Happenings 2013
Our 2nd Annual “Holiday Happenings”
Fundraiser was held on November 15th at
The Carlisle Country Club.
The evening was filled with music from Jukebox Hits, delicious food, door prizes, both
live and silent auctions, and holiday shopping from local vendors. Over $10,000.00
was raised for DVSCP. We sincerely appreciate everyone who contributed to making it
a memorable, successful night!
Running With A Mission
Running With A Mission, a 5K fundraiser, was held at
South Middleton Township Park on Saturday, April 5,
2014. Despite harsh winds and cold temperatures, Safe
Harbour, The Salvation Army, Carlisle CARES, and
members of the community joined DVSCP in order to
spread awareness, raise money, and participate in the
5K race. The collaboration of all four agencies and the
support of members of the community helped make this
event a success! Thank you to all who planned, came to,
and contributed to Running with a Mission. Please join
us next year on April 18th for the 3rd Annual Running
With A Mission!
Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® is an International Men’s March.
This event is an excellent way for men to take a stand
against domestic violence. DVSCP would like to thank each
of the participants, their families, and sponsors for coming
together to make this a successful event during the Camp
Hill Memorial Day Parade held on May 26, 2014. We look
forward to your ongoing support to make this a yearly event
to raise awareness in our communities.
2014 Annual Gala
DVSCP’s 2014 Annual Gala was held on Saturday, March 1st, at the
Susquehanna Club. The evening began with the soothing sounds of the
Cumberland Valley High School String Quartet, as everyone mingled,
placed their Silent Auction bids, and purchased tickets for the Chance
Auction and 50/50 Raffle. After a wonderful dinner followed by a
dessert table, the band SLICK, who graciously donated their time and
talents, took to the floor and the dancing began. A fun time was had
by all.
We truly appreciate and thank all who supported this event. In doing
so, you helped us raise almost $15,000 to continue to provide services
to victims in need.

victims reach out to safety. We are
blessed to have such an amazing
group of dedicated volunteers.
One of our shelter residents organized and planned a Paper Lantern
Release fundraiser and raised $967 to help with the remodeling of our
shelter bathrooms. It was held on May 3, 2014 and, although the weather
was a bit chilly and rainy, everyone had a great time and won some
amazing prizes. The weather cleared just in time for everyone to release
the paper lanterns, and it was a beautiful site!

We are blessed to be part of a community who has over the past few

kitchen ceiling is in great need of repair. The tiles are pulling loose
and cracking along the seams. If anyone has the skill to repair this
for us or would wish to donate toward the repair, please contact our
Shelter Manager at 258-4806. Your help to provide the victims of
domestic violence in our communities a safe and comfortable place
to come for help is truly appreciated!

December brought more good tidings to DVSCP from the American
Legion Post #101. On December 11th,they hosted a luncheon and presented many
of the community agencies with a Holiday Season Donation. DVSCP was the
fortunate recipient of a check for $7,500. Their “good will” did not stop with the
surprise of this generous donation. Following the luncheon, George Vanasdalan
contacted DVSCP to see what assistance the American Legion Post #101
could give to help with our Children’s Christmas Party. George worked to
coordinate Santa’s arrival to the shelter. Other members of the Legion
came along to help with the party. The Ladies Auxiliary and the Son’s of the
American Legion provided cookies, presents for the children, and
Christmas stockings filled with goodies. In February of 2014, DVSCP
received another donation of $1700. We are so appreciative of this
generous giving to help better the lives of victims of domestic violence in
our communities.
Thank you to Amazon who generously
donated $5000 for use in shelter
bathroom renovation and
reconstruction of our emergency shelter
