The 5th Annual Love Shouldn’t Hurt will be held Feb. 11

The Advocacy & Resource Center is holding a night of dancing, food and drinks to raise funds that will support the victims they support. 

The fundraiser, Love Shouldn’t Hurt, will begin at 7 p.m. – 11 p.m., Feb. 11, at the Best Western Sheridan Center.  The night will feature live music by Sidetrack, a cash bar and light hors d’oeuvres. 

The Advocacy & Resource Center receives some government funding to help run day to day operations, but there are resources needed by victims that these funds cannot pay for by regulation. Love Shouldn’t Hurt is a fundraiser that will help fill the coffers of funds that can help Executive Director Yvonne Swanson and her team to get these resources to the victims they support. 

Swanson gave an explanation during an appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse. 

Swanson and her team rescue victims of domestic abuse. They also advise victims of crime. They are advocates for anyone who may feel they do not have voice in the legal system. 

They are also educators and advisors for anyone who may feel lost in that system. Brittny Hamilton, an advocate with the Center, will be giving a presentation on Feb. 10, at Big Horn High School on the topic of teen dating violence. 

Tickets for Love Shouldn’t Hurt are $25 per person and $40 per couple and will be available at the door.
