1888PressRelease - Brian Alfaro and organizers of the Purple Run - an event to raise awareness about domestic violence.
Brian Alfaro recently co-sponsored the first Purple Run. This run was to support and benefit the Family Violence Prevention Services and The Kristine Meza Foundation. It was organized on the 26th of October and was a huge success.
"Incidents of domestic violence have consistently increased over the years. We decided to support the cause of battered women and children and give them the strength to protect their self esteem," says a spokesperson for Brian Alfaro.
In fact, 2013 has been the most satisfying year for Brian Alfaro. His organization has even appointed a full-time employee whose main job responsibility it is to find out ways to help the San Antonio community. Some of the major social responsibility programs undertaken this year include offering support to the Miracle League of San Antonio, taking part in the Flame of Hope Volleyball Tournament, and the annual Over the Edge event.
The Miracle League of San Antonio is a baseball league for the physically and mentally- challenged community. This is an innovative program that offers differently-abled children an opportunity to challenge their situation and gives them confidence to face people.
Events like Flame of Hope Volleyball Tournament and Over the Edge are annual events where participants from Brian Alfaro's organizations have taken part and have rappelled down the sides of large buildings for a charitable cause.
They have also sent teams to the Special Olympics Fire Truck Pull event. Their team competed with other participant teams and earned top honors. Recently, their team took part in the Graffiti Run event. Proceeds of this event went to the Junior Achievement of South Texas.
