Baylor Law HEAL (Help, Educate, Advocate and Learn), a student organization dedicated to advocating for victim-survivors in the legal system, will host its annual Domestic Violence Awareness Month event from 2 to 6 p.m. on Oct. 5 at Hotel Herringbone in downtown Waco. The event will feature community partnerships, donation drives and interactive activities designed to raise awareness and support survivors.

Beyoncé, the Backstreet Boys and the Jackson Five are just a few of the talents that were channeled during the second annual “Break the Silence” lip-syncing contest Monday to raise awareness for domestic abuse.

Several groups from across campus took to the stage during the event put together by Alpha Chi Omega, the department of multicultural affairs and funded by student government.

In honor of domestic violence month, the Family Abuse Center of Waco is having a fundraiser to support victims of domestic violence.

It will take place from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday in the Phoenix Ballroom at 4101 S. Third St. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the Family Abuse Center Services. The fundraiser will include food, a silent auction and entertainment featuring Waco talent.
