Domestic violence is the primary cause of both injury and homelessness to women between the ages of 15 and 44, but the situation is not hopeless. Organizations like BOTHANDS' Sharon Manor and the Northland Family Help Center provide safe havens to women and children fleeing domestic violence as well as services to help them establish independence and create healthy relationships, and YOU can help.
Join us on October 16th, 2010 in beautiful downtown Flagstaff to Walk for a Change. The walk will start from Wheeler Park from 8:30 to 11:00 a.m. (your start time is up to you), and walkers will have a choice between two different walking routes of either one mile or three miles. Refreshments will be provided, and as part of $35 registration fee, walkers will receive a commemorative t-shirt--wear it around town the day of the walk to receive discounts with local merchants!
Want your dog to join in the fun? Register for Paws for a Change, and your furry friend will receive a doggy bandana for no extra cost.
Can't make it to the walk? Don't want to get up early? Sign up for Sleep In for a Change to show your support wherever you are! Sleepers also get a t-shirt as well as an "I'm Sleeping In for a Change" Do Not Disturb door hanger.
