Our class is so creative! I loved reading all of the project ideas that we came up with both to promote Safe Harbor and raise awareness of domestic violence.
The first and most crucial step in my opinion is to develop high-profile Facebook and Twitter pages for Safe Harbor. Even after this class is over, these social media sites will continue to do their job of reaching a huge online community. I mentioned in my blog and so did several others the idea of coming up with a symbol to rebrand the REP project. If this was done there would be something that we could post online that would then become synonymous with its cause. Through profile pictures and status updates or tweets we could easily and effectively promote the color purple and the cause for which it stands in the month of October and beyond. The opportunity to reach a global audience greater than Clemson should not be missed.
Closer to home, I loved the idea of having a purple out in October to raise awareness of domestic violence. It would be awesome to see athletic teams incorporate purple in their uniforms, but it would also be worthwhile to encourage students to do the same in their daily attire. Promoting a campus purple out and then having a day where material is passed out on library bridge would be a great way to raise awareness. If we were able to coordinate an event with a speaker, this would fit in nicely as a conclusion to a purple out.
Finally, I think having a food and drink night where proceeds are donated to Safe Harbor would be a sure bet for successful fundraising. Patrons could be informed that part of their purchase is going to help the cause of preventing domestic violence, thus simultaneously raising awareness and funds. I believe numerous venues would be interested in hosting these events and if we included a wide variety of venues we could reach a diverse audience ranging from families to college students.
