Join 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.
Pledge to Be an Exceptional GENTLEman
Waypoint is challenging men in our community to rise up, take the pledge, and declare that not only domestic violence ends now, but ALL violence. With a $50 donation, you will do more than give, you will take a public stand against violence and model what it means to be an Exceptional GENTLEman.
All GENTLEmen who commit at the link below will receive an Exceptional GENTLEmen t-shirt to wear to show your support in taking a stand against violence in our community.
Act now, don't wait. Violence won’t end on its own. Every pledge fuels Waypoint’s Victim Services Program, providing life-saving support to 2,000+ victims/survivors of violence each year.
