Batkid Takes Media By Storm [Infographic]

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 04:38 PM PDT

On November 15, 2013, 5 year old lymphoblastic leukemia survivor Miles Scott had the opportunity of a lifetime. With the help of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, his wish to become Batkid was realized. With an estimated crowd of 20,000 spectators and volunteers, the City of San Francisco was transformed into Gotham City for the day. After teaming up with Batman and hopping into the Batmobile, Batkid saved a damsel in distress, captured both The Penguin and The Riddler and performed many other acts of heroism. At the end of this incredible day, Miles received the key to the city; it was as though Miles had starred in his own Batkid film.

While this heartwarming story was unfolding, something remarkable was happening. Not only was Batkid saving Gotham, he was also taking social and print media by storm. The story spread so quickly, so powerfully and to such a vast audience, that it was nearly impossible to avoid news about the event on social media or to open a newspaper without seeing a Batkid article.

"You Are Not Alone. We Have Your Back."

One in five women is sexually assaulted while in college, most often, in her freshman or sophomore year. Most times, it's by someone she knows -- and also most often, she does not report what happened. And though fewer, men, too, are victimized.

We're committed to putting an end to this violence. That's why today, we're launching NotAlone.gov, a website that makes resources on sexual assault prevention accessible to students and schools.

Learn more about how to prevent and respond to sexual assault on our college campuses and in our schools.
