As our big day approaches, Rob and I have been reflecting on the type of marriage we want to have and the kinds of people we want to be. We're deeply grateful for the love, support, and generosity that surrounds us, and we feel called to carry that spirit forward throughout our married lives. With that in mind, we kindly ask that you consider making a donation to the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton (SACE) on our behalf in lieu of a traditional wedding gift. Each day, SACE helps survivors of sexual violence, their loved ones, and other members of their support networks by delivering the necessary care, dignity, and compassion that they deserve.

Your presence in our lives and at our celebration is already a gift. If you wish to give further, a donation to SACE on our behalf would be an incredible way to help us begin a marriage grounded in kindness, empathy, and purpose. Thank you for being part of our journey and for joining us in supporting a worthy cause.

The Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton (SACE) has been a registered charity in the Edmonton community since 1975. For fifty years, SACE has listened to, believed, and supported thousands of children, youth, and adults impacted by sexual violence. Your donation helps SACE:

• be there when someone needs crisis support;

• ensure survivors have access to professional trauma counselling, so they are not alone in their healing journey;

• offer support to survivors in police stations and courtrooms, with guidance and advocacy;

• educate youth, professionals, businesses, and community organizations, working toward a future free from sexual violence.

Your donation has the power to make a real impact on the future of sexual violence in our community. Thank you once again for supporting SACE.
