LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Jenesse Center is proud to announce the dates for the 2010 Silver Rose Weekend,
chaired by Academy Award winning actress and long time supporter, Halle Berry,
and an illustrious roster of community supporters, sponsors, board of directors
and friends. Celebrating its 30 year anniversary of continued service in the
community, the event will kick off with the annual Silver Rose Gala and Auction
on Sunday, April 18, 2010 at the Beverly Hills Hotel and Bungalows, followed by
the 2nd Annual Halle Berry Celebrity Golf Classic on Monday, April 19, 2010 at
the Wilshire Country Club. 

Jenesse Center is a non-profit organization that provides a holistic,
comprehensive program to nurture victimized families back to a place of mental,
financial, physical and emotional well-being. 

The theme for the 2010 Silver Rose event is "In a Perfect World". Avis
Frazier-Thomas, Jenesse Board President, said, "The 2010 Annual Silver Rose
Weekend theme is `In a Perfect World` because in a perfect world, domestic
violence does not exist. We work diligently with the hope in our hearts that if
we continue to aggressively raise awareness, provide the proper services and
engage community support, we will drastically reduce domestic violence and
possibly…eliminate it altogether. We thank our partners who are in the trenches
with us on the quest to end domestic violence. With continued support, we will
continue to plant the seeds of peace and harmony as a way of life for our
clients and the community. We invite everyone to join us for the 2010 Silver
Rose Weekend in April and together, protect our greatest treasure, the American
family." 

Karen Earl, Executive Director of the Jenesse Center, said, "We are so grateful
to have the support of so many businesses, organizations and individuals. This
is such important work and we are excited that each year more great people are
joining us to bring peace and healing into the homes of families who struggle
with domestic violence. I also want to thank the Jenesse Center Board who work
tirelessly year-round to champion the cause of the families who so need our
help." 

Jenesse Ambassador Halle Berry said, "The Silver Rose Weekend will raise much
needed funds to help families victimized by domestic violence. Over the past 10
years I've watched the lives of countless families transformed and I am excited
about the future for these families as we work to build on our success and bring
an end to their suffering one family at a time."
