Join the Men's Campaign by raising your voice to support survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. We dream of a world where all survivors of violence, regardless of gender, have access to the support and services they need to heal after experiencing violence and trauma.

This year’s honorary campaign chair is Matthew Felan. Matt is the President/CEO of the Great Lakes Bay Regional Alliance. If you live or work in the Great Lakes Bay Region, you have probably met Matt and experienced his passion for the causes he supports across the community. A “professional volunteer fundraiser,” Matt prides himself in working hard to make a difference for the agencies providing life-saving services.

“The Bay Area Women’s Center takes care of the most vulnerable in our community at no charge. Their services are vital to those who have experienced traumatic events. I am proud to serve as the Honorary Chair for 2025 to urge more men to support the work of the Bay Area Women’s Center and to protect women and men in our community who have been victims of sexual assault and/or domestic abuse. Our goal is to raise funds for necessary programming and operational costs, while also raising awareness about the organization and its impact on the community.” – Matthew Felan

Matthew is a dedicated supporter of the Men’s Campaign having joined in 2013 when the initiative began. It is through annual support from donors like Matt and like you that the free-of-charge, life-changing programs and services at BAWC are available to survivors 24/7. When men use their influence to support survivors, true and lasting impact is created.

As we celebrate our 50^th anniversary, we reflect on all that has been accomplished in 50 years and look to you to ensure safety is available to survivors in the next 50 years. Our ask to be included in this campaign is a donation of $100. To commemorate our 50^th anniversary, we encourage you to consider adding $50 to your donation or making a donation of $250, $500, $750, etc. As a thank you for your support, your name or the name of someone you wish to honor or memorialize will appear in an ad in the Bay City Times on Father’s Day.

Ultimately, our mission is to create a community where these crimes no longer exist. Be a part of the movement to create change and challenge societal norms. Join us, stand with us, today.
