Today, McNabb Center’s Sexual Assault Center of East Tennessee team was honored to attend the VOLS Walk in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). 💙
We were grateful for the opportunity to join the walk, stand alongside our community, and support the important work of raising awareness around sexual assault. Being part of this event allowed us to connect with others, show our support for survivors, and continue promoting education, prevention, and healing across East Tennessee.
Thank you to everyone who made today possible and to those who walked with purpose. Together, we can continue building a stronger, more supportive community.
