Why a Holiday Initiative? The availability of a room can often mean the difference between life and death. In January of 1988, groundbreaking began on a new wing of the undisclosed location. Once opened, it was immediately filled to capacity. In 1993, Genesis expanded three times and even with 10,000 counseling hours already provided, there is still a waitlist of over 200 women. One unmet need of the Shelter is longer term housing for women after they complete the 6 week Shelter program.

Our Success With such a large return for a small investment, and the continued generosity of the Dallas Stars, the Holiday Initiative will be one of the most successful charity drives in the history of the Dallas Stars. We are asking the Chamber of Commerce for an investment of $10, USD. With this investment, the Dallas Stars will be able to move forward with the Holiday Initiative, and set in motion a program to help those going through a rough time.
