Save the Date - Spring Into Safety Event
Tuesday, May 3, 2022

Lake Park High School and LPEF are very excited to partner with 2019 distinguished alum, author, and nationally known presenter Angela Rose. She will be speaking with Lancer families during "Spring into Safety" hosted on Tuesday, May 3 at 6:30 p.m. in the West Campus auditorium.

PAVE (Promoting Awareness | Victim Empowerment) is a multi-national nonprofit that works to both prevent assault and heal survivors through social advocacy, prevention education, and survivor support.
Now a leading 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, PAVE was founded as a student organization at the University of WI-Madison in February 2001 by Lancer for Life Angela Rose, in response to her own experience of being kidnapped and sexually assaulted at the age of 17.
