realize the difference they can make in stopping abuse before it starts. Charles Hand, New York Metro region president at
Verizon Wireless will take part in an event Tuesday, June 14 in New York City,
launching this year's campaign in which top athletic coaches across the
country are taking a stance against dating violence and sexual assault with
the "Coaching Boys into Men Playbook," the first step-by -step guide for
coaches to educate players that aggression on the field or court should not
translate into violence outside of sports. We're proud to take part in this event as a continuation of our
partnership with the Family Violence Prevention Fund. The campaign
builds upon the Family Violence Prevention Fund's first campaign focused on
men called Coaching Boys into Men, which asks men to be role models to young
boys and teach them early and often that violence does not equal strength, and
it elevates the Fund's efforts to end violence against women and children by
engaging men and funding additional programs to prevent violence. To preview and request broadcast-quality
