DOVE 2012 - Determined to Oppose Violence Everywhere!
Marathon Charity Lacrosse Game, Post-game BBQ & Raffle
http://www.laxdove.ca/
It is a sad but interesting fact that few Canadians know that our first national sport originated from an
aboriginal game played hundreds of years before Canada became a nation. Aurora Masters Lacrosse
is one of many groups promoting this sport and its virtues, with the added focus of reaching out to those
most in need in our community. A little over five years ago, we decided to capture the community’s
attention by promoting violence awareness and prevention through the paradox of the game of lacrosse.
As a result, we formed a campaign called DOVE, which stands for Determined to Oppose Violence
Everywhere. DOVE 2012 is our fifth full scale campaign which hopes to exceed both last year’s
amount of funds generated and awareness raised (spreading the message) for both the Canadian Centre
for Abuse Awareness (http://www.abusehurts.com/) and the Spirit of the Stick (http://www.spiritofthestick.com/)
organizations. Both non-profit community organizations attempt to rebuild, empower, and protect
individuals and their communities from the ravages of abuse, neglect, and violence. DOVE 2012 is our
commitment to ensure that these organizations will continue to work until there is no further need for
their services
