Thank You for Walking with Us!
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 AT THE DIMOND CENTER MALL
Together, we took powerful steps toward ending sexual violence and supporting survivors in our community.
Whether you walked a mile in her shoes, donated, volunteered, or cheered from the sidelines, your presence made a meaningful impact.
Thanks to your incredible support, we raised over $15,000 to help fund vital services, outreach, and advocacy.
Your involvement sparked important conversations and showed unwavering solidarity in the fight against rape and gender-based violence.
We’re so grateful, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
Same time next year? We’ll bring the heels if you bring the heart!
