Primaloft and Downlite Raised Thousands with Support Your Dreams Campaign

On October 1^st, 2009, in recognition of the National Domestic Violence Awareness month, we and our partner DOWNLITE launched the Support Your Dreams campaign designed to support women and children making the transition into a new life away from the fear of domestic abuse.

We are touched by the support we received from the public. Thanks to everyone’s help and efforts, we were able to raise thousands of dollars in cash and product donations, going directly to selected shelters in Albany, NY and Cincinnati, OH and the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

Everyday in the news we hear about cases of domestic violence, so now that October is long gone, let’s continue our support to the victims of domestic abuse. Check out the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence website to see how you can help.
