The Friends of Ellen (FOE)
A significant force & powerful FOE of DVA
10 Years of Activism
The Friends of Ellen (FOE) originally began as an informal group of friends outraged by the horrific and heinous killing of one of their best friends. They quickly mobilized and were instrumental in so many early efforts, ranging from grieving together with the community, providing support to the Every Great Reason Foundation, and working towards gaining justice through the challenges presented in the criminal process.
Friends of Ellen
The Friends of Ellen rapidly seized the opportunity to turn the love of Ellen, and rage towards her brutal slaying, into becoming a driving force behind the formation and success of Every Great Reason. Their efforts to support the Foundation’s noble cause and turn Every Great Reason into a strong force for Awareness, Rights, Education & Emancipation of Victims has been most remarkable. Always there, always ready to rally, always equipped with the passion to make a difference… the FOE have truly become a FOE of Domestic Violence & Abuse.
The FOE support the following major efforts:
Awareness Events
Public Speaking
TV Programs focused on Creating Awareness
Educational Events
Victim Rights Efforts
Fundraising to support EGR’s significant initiatives for others
Corporate Relationships to advance Awareness, the EGR Cause & DVA Movement
The Friends of Ellen has transformed itself from a group of loving individuals who knew and cared greatly for Ellen, and become a dedicated group of individuals (now many who never knew Ellen), who have passionately & dramatically advanced the cause for victims in need.
