April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, and Tinker Air Force Base is committed to raising awareness, supporting survivors, and fostering a culture of dignity and respect. This month serves as a focused time for the Tinker community to reinforce its commitment to eliminating sexual assault. While April is recognized as SAAPM, the effort to combat sexual assault is a year-round commitment. Throughout April, a series of events will be held to promote awareness and provide opportunities for education and support. Throughout the month, members of Team Tinker are encouraged to wear teal, the nationally recognized color of sexual assault awareness. This year's events include: April 3: SAAPM 5K Run/Walk – 7 a.m. Tinker Event Center April 6: DoNut Forget About Consent – 9-11 a.m. Bldg. 9001 April 10: United We Fight – SAAPM Gaming Tournament – 4-6 p.m. Tinker Event Center April 17 https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B4AAEAA23A2FEC43-62709453-2026 – 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Tinker Bowling Center April 23: https://www.yourbloodinstitute.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/678261 – 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Bldg. 1 Parking Lot In addition to the events above, a free screening of the film “Disfluency” will be held throughout the month at the base theater.
