FY27 GC T-Shirt.jpgJoin the Gentleman Campaign© & Be an Exceptional Gentleman

Since 2013, Waypoint’s Gentleman Campaign© has spread awareness about domestic violence and encouraged community involvement by promoting what it means to be an Exceptional Gentleman

Running from July through September, the campaign supports Waypoint’s Domestic Violence Victim Services and Caring Dads Program, helping strengthen families, support survivors, prevent violence, and break cycles of abuse. 

Through community partnerships, sponsors, public awareness efforts, and the Exceptional Gentleman pledge, the campaign helps create a safer, stronger community.
