NEWS RECEIVES FUNDING FROM NAPA VALLEY VINTNERS/AUCTION NAPA VALLEY
We are also pleased to share that we have been awarded $245,000 in funding from the Napa Valley Vintners through its annual community fundraiser, Auction Napa Valley. We are grateful to the NVV for their continued partnership, which enables us to provide safety and hope to over 1,500 people in Napa County. These funds emphasize supporting children and youth whose emotional and/or physical health are at risk due to adverse childhood experiences, and supporting adults seeking emotional and/or physical health and wellness. Especially during these challenging times that saw the cancellation of Auction Napa Valley this year due to COVID-19, we would like to express our deep appreciation to NVV for its commitment to supporting our work. Thank you for giving, NVV!

Coaches Recruited to Help Stop Dating Violence
“Coach Baille introduced the athletic department at Napa Valley College to the NEWS About Sports program. The program is directed at athletes, coaches, and uses their roles on campus to reduce dating violence and abuse among our students. Coaches participate with their athletes to examine behaviors and propose alternative and healthy patterns of communication and action. Specific steps are proposed for the athletes to make not only personal changes, but also larger systemic changes. Coach Baille builds on the positive influence that sport plays in our culture and creates an environment to bring about change to end relationship violence, promote gender equity and empower student athletes to become change agents.”
