Interval House Asks for Men to Help End Violence Against Women
Father's Day Initiative to Publish Names of Men Who Support Cause Against Domestic Violence
HARTFORD -- Interval House, the state's largest domestic violence intervention and prevention organization, is calling on men this Father’s Day to stand with other men in the cause against domestic violence and abuse.
During Father’s Day week, it will publish the names of conscientious men in the Hartford Business Journal that support Interval House and its mission to end violence and abuse against women.
A donation of any size, made by June 1st, will ensure their name is printed alongside other upstanding men in the community who assert that there is NEVER any excuse for abuse.

For ten years, the members of Men Make A Difference, Men Against Domestic Violence™ have advocated for victims in the community by using their influential voices in the legislature, the media, their social circles, and the corporate sphere. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, co-chairman of the group, was one of the first men to sign up for the Father’s Day initiative. He called on other men to do the same.
“Tell your family, your friends, and your colleagues about this project,” said Mary-Jane Foster, Interval House’s President and CEO. “Ask every man you know to participate and ensure they are included in this very important effort. Every name counts.”
