The Phoenix is a mythical bird that when it feels its life is at an end, builds a nest, sets it on fire and is consummed by the flames. From the ashes, a new Phoenix springs forth to live again. Like the Phoenix the abused woman must rise from the ashes of an abusive relationship to find life again.
This award will be presented to various members of our community who have endeavored to work to change the consuming effects of domestic violence. Each October, the community is asked to nominate those within the community who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help survivors of domestic violence.
