The 17th annual Victory Over Violence Walk/Run is April 13, 2013 at the Trinity Park Duck Pond.

Last year, over 3,600 walkers and runners participated to raise money and awareness for our anti-violence programs.

There are several ways to be involved:

* Become a sponsor. Sponsor packets available here.

* Start telling your friends and family you want to have a team.

* Plan to volunteer at the event.

Registration and volunteer sign-up will be open in January.

Thanks to you,
our families will have Christmas this year!

Many of you became sponsors of our clients this year to ensure the children have gifts during the holidays. THANK YOU! If you would still like to donate, we can always use gift cards: Target, bookstores, movie theaters, gas cards or restaurants are always needed for clients or to thank our many volunteers.
