STOP... One Punch Can Kill
|
SOPCK began after the tragic death of David Cassai on NYE 2012 from a senseless, unprovoked violent attack ending his life with a ferocious one punch. WCC is proud to support SPOKC and raise awareness of the impact senseless acts of street and social violence in an effort to work towards creating a safer community and to raise awareness that one punch can and DOES kill. Harm prevention through education and awareness are important factors in changing attitudes towards violence, particularly with the many young men in sporting clubs.
