SUMMARY: The Julie Valentine Center, celebrating its 51st year, serves individuals affected by sexual assault and child abuse in the Upstate. In the past year, they assisted 220 sexual assault victims in emergency rooms, with CEO Shawna Galloway Williams hoping increased reports reflect growing awareness rather than rising assaults. The center offers free and confidential services, relying heavily on community funding, including the upcoming annual luncheon featuring keynote speaker Chanel Miller. Miller’s memoir, “Know My Name,” speaks to survivor loneliness, victim-blaming, and the power of community support. The 15th Annual Luncheon will take place on Valentine’s Day at the Greenville Convention Center.
