MEDIA RELATIONS

With the help of a federal grant to promote sexual abstinence, Rosalie Manor Community & Family Services is conducting a marketing campaign (named “Until I Say I Do, I Don’t”) to combat teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection epidemics in the Milwaukee community.

Along with the abstinence marketing initiative, “Until I Say I Do, I Don’t” Rosalie Manor has created this website, UntilISay.com, dedicated to abstinence education. This interactive site features separate sections for teens and parents, quotes local and national statistics, and provides valuable information, resources and support to help youth and parents communicate about and choose abstinence.

Rosalie Manor spokesperson Dawn Groshek, Director of Development, is available for interviews, comments and statistics about the program Families United to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, “Until I Say I Do, I Don’t,” and abstinence until marriage.
