Film Screening and Panel Discussion at Boulder High School - February 16th

Join us for a screening of the 
award winning documentary, 
The Mask You Live In, at Boulder High School, Tuesday, February 16 at 7:00 PM.
 
The Mask You Live In follows boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America's narrow definition of masculinity. Written, produced and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film premiered at Sundance Film Festival in 2015.  

 
The screening of the film will be followed by a panel discussion featuring community leaders, including:
  • Stan Garnett, Boulder County District Attorney
  • Susan Caskey, Director, Boulder County Impact
  • Michael Vladek, Bringing Forth Personal Coaching and Counseling
  • Derek McCoy, YCEP Coordinator, Project PAVE
 
The Mask You Live In presents the personal narratives of young boys and men and features experts in neuroscience, psychology, sociology, sports, education, and media, further exploring how gender stereotypes are interconnected with race, class, and circumstance. The Mask You Live In ultimately illustrates how we, as a society, can raise a healthier generation of boys and young men.
 
Boulder High School is located at 1604 Arapahoe Ave in Boulder. The film screening is sponsored by Impact Boulder County, the BVSD Parent Engagement Network and Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence (SPAN). 

Visit www.safehousealliance.org or www.parentengagementnetwork.org for more information.  The film is for mature audiences.  This is a free event/suggested donation to SPAN of $5.

2016 Chocolate Lovers' Fling has been flung!

 
And oh, what a Fling it was!  More than 275 SPAN fans came together on Saturday, February 6 and helped us raise more than $163,000 to support services for domestic violence survivors and their children - a 22% increase over last year's Fling. 

We couldn't be more grateful to everyone who showed their support for SPAN at this year's Fling.  The hardest dollars to find in the world of fundraising are general operating expenses, and the Fling is one of the most important ways we cover those basic costs.  

Thank you to everyone who supported SPAN at the 2016 Chocolate Lovers' Fling!

A special thank you to all of our sponsors, including:
  • Title Sponsor:  The Farm
  • Title Media Sponsor:  Brock Media
  • Title Beverage Sponsor:  Hazel's Beverage World
