We wanted to send out a huge thank you to the people who have already sponsored this year’s Chickball:

Goddess: The Downtown Jackson Partners, Carter Jewelers
Princess/Prince: The Capital City Roller Girls, Crossings Assembly of God, Vineyard Church of Jackson B.A.D. girls, The Jackson Progressives
Chicks/Roosters: Jackie Tatum, Pat Bullock, Bodacious Broads, Tom Head

We are well on our way toward getting a “Freedom Van” for the Center, but we can still use your help. You can make checks out to The Center for Violence Prevention and bring them to our office this week or to the Chickball on Saturday.
