Mission Statement:
Our mission is to bring awareness of domestic violence, raise funds to provide education, and to promote healthy and happy relationships.
The Carol Rivest Memorial Foundation is a growing non-profit organization that raises money and awareness to fulfill our company’s mission. We strive to educate, empower, and donate to our local communities through our work. Please join us in our effort to raise awareness of domestic violence and abuse. Proceeds from our annual benefit event will go to Alianza DV services (a women’s shelter / companeras located in Holyoke, MA), The Network, and scholarship programs for locals schools including Enfield High School and Asnuntuck Community College.
All agencies work with and for victims and their families, providing support and shelter. Most importantly these wonderful agencies educate and support their community to help recognize and address signs of domestic violence.

Sheila speaks about what led up to the tragedy and also the role the judicial system played in her understanding of what occurred.
