Somerville, MA According to Robert Cashman, president and CEO of Metro Credit Union, they will be hosting Still She Rises, a celebration of life and fundraiser for local domestic violence prevention organizations. The event will coincide with the beginning of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

To honor Ersilia, Metro will host Still She Rises on Thursday, October 3, at the Holiday Inn at 30 Washington St. Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley will deliver the keynote address.

“According to the CDC, one in three women and one in four men will be victims of intimate partner violence in their lifetime,” said Charlene Bauer, Metro’s SVP outreach, advocacy and chief development officer. “Celia was a wonderful coworker and generous friend who was dedicated to her community and family. The tragic loss of her life had a profound impact on us all, and Metro is proud to be celebrating her legacy while supporting crucial organizations who stand up to domestic violence every day.”
