Operation Freefall

Hi Pamie,

I'm a reader and fan who is asking for help for my little sister. She is currently involved in a fundraiser known as Operation Freefall. The funds raised for this event will benefit SOAR (Speaking Out About Rape) and RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network), as well as The Sexual Assault Center of Northwest Georgia, where my sister volunteers as a rape crisis counselor. She is a junior at Berry College in Rome, Georgia, and a psychology major. I am so proud of her and happy for her because she has found a subject that she is really, truly interested in because she is so committed to helping victims and is actually doing something about it--not just sitting back and wishing she could help. I know that I did not have this kind of dedication and certainty at her age.

But in addition to this being a source of sisterly pride for me, I think it's also an extremely worthy cause, and any little bit would help and be appreciated. More specific information about how the funds will be distributed is available here, where donations may also be made.

Thank you! Thanks for the good work you do with your website--by making this kind of information more widely available and by brightening my days (and others, I'm sure) with a good laugh.

Melissa
