Established in 1978, Casa de Amparo has been a leading force in child abuse prevention in San Diego County for over 30 years. “Our founders were a small group of local women concerned about domestic violence and the welfare of children. Led by an official of the Women’s Resource Center, and supported by local police, this small team pushed for a crisis nursery for children affected by or at risk of child abuse…and Casa de Amparo was born.”
We at Suna are all about community outreach and helping others in any way that we can. For several of our past events, we’ve partnered with Casa de Amparo to generate awareness and fundraising for abused and neglected children. We adore the people at Casa de Amparo and the cause that they stand for, and we are currently supporting two events to benefit their organization. We encourage all of our friends to participate – who doesn’t like having fun and helping kids, right?
