Walk A Mile In Her Shoes 2011

WALK A MILE IN HER SHOES Location: Olympic Plaza When: Monday, September 19, 2011 at 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM The YWCA WALK A MILE IN HER SHOES fundraising event helps women and their children take steps to walk away from family violence.  Although family violence is a very serious matter, this is a fun and light-hearted event.  On event day join local celebrities and other concerned men by strapping on high heels to find out what it is like to "WALK A MILE IN HER SHOES."  Shoes and lunch will be provided, so all you have to do is register as an individual, create your own team or join an existing team and come strut your stuff. Only men can register to participate, however we know from experience that women play a huge part in this event by encouraging men to take part, assisting them in fundraising to reach their goal and cheering them on during the event.   This is a donation-based event with no registration fee.   The recommend goal per participant is $1,000 which will help us to reach our goal of $300,000 that much faster.    So join us at Olympic Plaza on September 19th to WALK A MILE IN HER SHOES!.
