Safe House for Women Receives Donation

On March 18, 2015, The Rushing Family Trust made a $1,000 donation to the Safe House for Women. Commemorating the lives of C.W. "Woody" and Evelyn Rushing, the mission of The Rushing Family Trust is to make a positive difference in the lives of disadvantaged women and children, and others with extraordinary needs. Funding for this donation came as a result of the 16th Annual Captain Woody Rushing Golf Tournament that was held at Kimbeland Country Club in Jackson, Missouri. A total of $12,000 will be donated to 19 charities from the 2014 tournament.

The Safe House for Women is a not-for-profit, private 501(c)(3) domestic violence agency that provides safe shelter, 24-hour crisis hotline services, intensive case management, counseling, court advocacy, referral services, and education programs. The Safe House was established in 1991, providing safe shelter and a crisis hotline as a source of immediate help for victims of domestic violence and abuse.
