Walk A Mile In Her Shoes in support of the YWCA Location: Olympic Plaza, Calgary at noon When: Monday, September 20, 2010 at 12:00 - 2:00 PM Contact: Joanna Domes Email: jdomes@ywcaofcalgary.com WebSite: www.walkamile.ca Now I can finally proudly say I have broken free of the ties that kept me in my abusive relationship Thank you so much! ~ Client, Individual and Group Counselling Program for Women, YWCA Sheriff King Home In 2009, Walk A Mile In Her Shoes in support of the YWCA of Calgary raised more than $180,000! With these funds, the YWCA was able to help women and their children take steps to walk away from domestic violence. We know that lives were changed because of our work, and some lives may have even been saved. We need the 2010 event to be equally if not more successful, so that our work to stop domestic violence can continue and strengthen in the community. Our goals are to have 200 walkers and to raise $200,000. This year the event will take place on Monday, September 20 at noon in Olympic Plaza. Men (of any ages!) register to participate and then start fundraising to reach their goal, usually in the range of $1,000. On event day the participants carefully select a pair of fashionable high-heeled shoes (supplied by the YWCA) and then Walk A Mile In Her Shoes. Every year the photos and memories are priceless. We need you to make our goals a reality in 2010! Is there one man in your life or better yet a whole team prepared to take on the challenge of stopping and reducing domestic violence in Calgary? Do you have a social committee who can help solicit donations so that your walker(s) reach their goal? Would you consider making a donation yourself?
