Abstract

Our project is for our senior capstone class. For this project, we are working with the organization Live For Liv. This organization raises awareness about domestic violence and offers support to survivors. We are working closely with the organization's founder, Jody Marchand, to support her in her efforts to fundraise and spread awareness. For this project, we are working on assisting her in sharing information about the organization and the upcoming fundraising opportunities, signs of domestic violence, personal testimonies, and other important and impactful information. We are doing this via newsletter. Additionally, we are providing support for Jody in her upcoming events. Along with this, we are working with the fitness rec center to bring a fundraising event to Merrimack. We would like to spread awareness to the Merrimack College community about the pertinent information and the services that are available to those experiencing domestic violence. Jody’s mission as a survivor of domestic violence is to share her daughter’s story. Her daughter passed away due to a domestic violence incident and Jody has a passion for preventing this from happening to others and to honor her daughter’s memory. Our group will continue to support Jody’s mission; bringing awareness to the Merrimack campus. In our presentation at RCAC, we will be sharing what we have learned through our work on this project and further spreading awareness about domestic violence and the support available.
