SYRACUSE -- Lending his name to a good cause Monday, Syracuse University head football coach, Doug Marrone, was named honorary chair for this year's Vera House's White Ribbon campaign.
The campaign is lead by concerned men locally, looking to raise awareness and funds to stop domestic and sexual violence.
Vera House provides a 24 hour crisis, support and information line and emergency shelter, to ensure families are safe from violence.
