The White Ribbon global campaign was formed in 1991 by a group of men in response to a massacre that occurred in 1989 at the École Polytechnique (a public research university affiliated with the University of Montreal). Fourteen women were murdered in a mass anti-feminism shooting by one perpetrator, who during the massacre also took his own life. The global White Ribbon movement, now active in 60 countries, is a calling BY MEN - TO MEN, to help end male violence against women and girls.

In 2007, Jane Doe, Inc. (The Massachusetts Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence) led the establishment of the Massachusetts White Ribbon Day Campaign, expanding its efforts to end all forms of gender-based violence.

This March 2024, Independence House celebrates the 11th Anniversary of the Cape Cod White Ribbon Campaign, brought to our community in 2013 with the collaboration of the Yarmouth Police Department, Cape and Islands District Attorney's Office, and in 2023 joined by the Barnstable County Sheriff's Department.

Independence House, along with our collaborative Cape Cod White Ribbon Campaign partners are calling ALL MEN and BOYS (and all genders who support these efforts) to join us in a series of 1, 2, or 3 events detailed below during the month of March. Together we will learn, we will talk, and we will pledge to be part of the solution in ending violence against women and all gender-based violence.

Please extend your Mother's Day weekend activities and join us to golf with Independence House in our 7th Charity Open Golf Tournament on May 13th. The award-winning Willowbend golf course will be home to this year's tournament again and we can't say enough about the course, the food, and their staff who are committed to helping make our tournament a fun and enjoyable day.

Your participation is needed to ensure it's success. Please take advantage of our sponsor opportunities, contribute raffles or auction prizes, and golf with us!
