News: Pandora's Aquarium Needs Your Help

Shannon alerted us to a campaign by Pandora’s Aquarium, an online support group for survivors of sexual violence, to win a grant to help survivors attend a healing retreat later this year. It’s a great cause that addresses a need near and dear to Tori’s heart and they could really benefit from the support of the Tori fan community.

All it takes to help is a few clicks each day during the month of March to vote for them to receive the grant.

Read on for more information and make sure to check out the good work that is being done by this organization:

Pandora’s Aquarium, Inc. is a 501©(3) nonprofit that has been serving rape and sexual abuse survivors for a decade. Inspired by Tori’s dedication to the cause, the organization has served more than 20,000 people through its online support community, where survivors find a refuge to share experiences, seek advice, and provide support.

Pandora’s Aquarium is hosting its first healing retreat weekend in the fall of 2009. For many survivors, the cost to attend the retreat is prohibitive and local resources aren’t available. Pandora’s Aquarium believes that all survivors should have access to quality programs regardless of their ability to pay. We are seeking a grant to provide scholarships to those in need of financial assistance to attend, and you can help us by voting every day in March.

Voting only takes a second, and you don’t have to register. Just follow the link, scroll down, and click the blue “vote” box on the right – and be sure to bookmark the link to vote daily!

Thank you! This grassroots organization could not survive without the support of those who care about this issue.
