When you become part of our Legacy Society:

You Sustain...

By becoming a member of SPARCC Legacy Society, your planned gift allows us to look forward with confidence and ensure a future stream of support.

You are the catalyst to stop domestic and sexual violence in our communities for generations to come. You help sustain SPARCC, its programs and its services. We can’t do it without you.

You Strengthen...
  • What began as a small group of strong and compassionate women, with a desire to help survivors, has grown into the only state-certified center for domestic and sexual violence in Sarasota and DeSoto Counties. Your support has strengthened SPARCC every step of the way.

    It has been 40 years since the humble beginnings of SPARCC and despite its tremendous growth, there is still more to do — lives to save, young people to educate and social reforms to be made. You uphold our mission. You make us strong.

You Protect...
Domestic violence and sexual assault are social problems that happen in every community and change must begin with each of us.

SPARCC is a leader in the movement against domestic and sexual violence. You help protect the future.
