Coach Fran Brown, Syracuse University Football at White Ribbon Campaign

Thank You for Standing with Us

During the 32nd Annual White Ribbon Campaign

Vera House Foundation’s 32nd Annual White Ribbon Campaign is complete, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who attended, donated, and spread the word throughout April. Your support at the Breakfast and the White Ribbon Walk helped raise awareness and critical funds for prevention education and services in our community.

This year, people across the greater Syracuse area wore white ribbons, walked through downtown, and shared powerful messages with friends, family, and coworkers. Together, we are challenging harmful behaviors, uplifting survivors, and building safer relationships for everyone.

Thank You, Coach Fran Brown

We extend a heartfelt thank you to Coach Fran Brown, Syracuse University Football Coach and Honorary Chair of this year’s White Ribbon Campaign Breakfast.

Coach Brown’s leadership, presence, and message about healthy relationships and accountability helped set the tone for this year’s campaign. His commitment to using his platform to speak out against domestic and sexual violence inspires athletes, students, families, and fans across Central New York.

We’re grateful to Coach Brown, the Syracuse University Football program, and everyone who joined us at the Breakfast and Walk to stand with survivors and affirm that there is no place for violence in our community.
