Cycle the WAVE 2015
We are excited to announce that we are at $190,400 total fundraised for this year's CtW; less than $10,000 shy of our goal. With your help we can achieve a major milestone and for the first time in Cycle the WAVE history reach the $200,000 mark!  
To help us all reach this amazing goal, we left fundraising open ONE MORE WEEK - until October 12th.  Please spread the word by sending out one last round of emails to your supporters.  We are so very,very, close we all thought we should go for it...and pedal full speed into the end zone for the big win! 
Support a team or rider of CtW or make a general donation here. Special thanks to all our sponsors, riders, fundraisers, vendors and supporters who helped us reach this fabulous new high level - Go Team! 
The 5th annual domestic violence men's awareness walk presented by UW Alpha Chi Omega takes place on Saturday, October 10th.  The one mile walk will begin at the University of Washington Quad at 11:30 a.m.  All family and friends welcome - $5 for students, $10 for non-students.  Purchase tickets here. Tickets can also be purchased at the event.
This event has it all - a beautiful one mile walk around campus, inspiration and fun. And yes, entertainment too - watching men walk in high heels is not something you see everyday. WAVE will be introducing the "Braking the Cycle"  project to participants. Proceeds will benefit The WAVE (Women Against Violence Everywhere) Foundation.
Braking the Cycle...One Promise at a Time
The 8th annual Cycle the WAVE was the launch of our new "Braking the Cycle" campaign.  Nearly 400 participants took a personal step to end domestic violence by making a promise and posting it on the public Verizon banner displayed at the finish line.   We invite you to visit our website and take action by making your "promise" online.  We thank you for participating and being a part of "Braking the Cycle"! 
This program is being sponsored by Verizon Wireless
