West Michigan lawyers, judges to play annual charity softball game to support survivors of domestic, sexual violence
Grand Rapids, Mich. — In Kent County, the rate of domestic violence homicides is on track to double this year compared to last year. And since the pandemic started, domestic violence calls to the police are up about 35%.
The Western Region of the Women Lawyers Association of Michigan is hosting a charity softball game this weekend to support domestic and sexual violence survivors. More than $215,000 has been raised for the YWCA's domestic and sexual violence services since 1983.
