DeafHope is proud to announce their first annual fundraiser “Bark at DV” (Domestic Violence), October 31, 2009 at the San Leandro Marina Park Heron Picnic Tables from 1:00 to 4:30 pm.  Bark at DV includes a walk-a-thon, best Halloween costume (both dog and person), best look-alike dog with person and a social playpen for dogs.

Every year thousands of women and their children become survivors of domestic and sexual violence, in which some seek help from local organizations; however, for the Deaf
community, particularly Deaf women and their children, accessible services remain a challenge. Many, along with their pets, return to a home of violence.
