More than 40 area businesses became “ambassadors” for Betty Griffin Center over the last year, providing in-kind and monetary donations to the nonprofit agency that provides emergency shelter and other support services for survivors of domestic and sexual assault in St. Johns County.
“We want to recognize and thank those individuals and businesses that continue to make our ambassador program a success and hope more businesses will join their ranks as the program enters its third year,” said Betty Griffin Center Development Director Kenlie Herring. “Each of our ambassadors are making the community safe and truly help us provide life-saving services to assault survivors.”
Betty Griffin Center Ambassadors included Horschel Family Foundation, Women’s Care Foundation, Campbell Plumbing and Mechanics, Pearmid Properties LLC, KeHE Cares, Cisco Systems Inc., Jacksonville Jaguars Foundation, Ponte Vedra Woman’s Club, Main Event, Ascension St. Vincent’s St. Johns County, Hardage Giddens, TruTechology, Omnia Global Partners, Volkswagen of St. Augustine, Walmart Foundation, Atlantic Automotive, Edward Jones, Herbie Wiles Insurance, Margie Williams State Farm, VyStar Credit Union and many more.
“This generosity from the community directly helps us to provide a safe place where survivors can find peace, healing and hope — and it also helps us educate the community about domestic and sexual abuse, which are issues that affect all of us,” Herring said.
Betty Griffin Center has many Ambassador levels, beginning at the $500 level. As an ambassador, people and companies are recognized at our annual events, in the agency’s marketing efforts and receive other benefits throughout the year.
