ROSE BROOKS

CSCS lives out its Community Involvement value through a partnership with Rose Brooks, an organization whose
mission is to end the cycle of domestic violence so that adults, children and pets can live free of abuse. In addition
to their emergency shelter, which provides over 57,000 safe nights a year to families escaping violence, Rose
Brooks also offers safety for family pets in their on-site pet shelter PAWS Place, a Hotline for individuals in crisis,
hospital advocates that meet with patients experiencing domestic abuse, court advocates to help survivors navigate
the legal system, victim advocates that support police officers on domestic violence calls to protect survivors who
may be at a high risk of being killed, and school-based education through the Project SAFE violence prevention
program.

CSCS team members raised $8,700 for Rose Brooks in 2018. Cash contributions come from associates via direct
donations and paying to wear tennis shoes to work, as well as outside fund raisers, such as an annual bake sale
and ticket raffles to Kansas City sporting events.

CSCS team members also donate their time volunteering at the center by cleaning the kitchen, helping organize
their store, and other activities. Team members also participated in two of Rose Brooks' annual events, a Casino &
Auction Night as well as the Holiday Store they host each Christmas season.
