Thanks for visiting my Hot Chocolate Run fundraising page! On December 2, I'm running (yes, running!) in this year’s Hot Chocolate Run. This great event raises funds for Safe Passage, the organization helping victims of domestic violence in Hampshire County.
This is a huge challenge for me to both do the 5K and raise my goal. I started training in September!
Let's remember those we've lost because of domestic violence....although it may be too late for some, we can help others by raising money for Safe Passage.
I hope you’ll make a donation and help me meet my fundraising goal. Safe Passage relies on donations, much of them through the Hot Chocolate Run, to fund their programming--including an emergency shelter program, individual counseling and support groups, legal services, a 24-hour hotline and more. Here are some examples of what these services cost:
$20: Emergency funds for a woman to purchase groceries or diapers
$45: A one-hour counseling session for a woman seeking help for the first time
$80: One weekly drop-in group session for survivors of domestic violence
$100: An hour of ASL interpreting for a deaf survivor's counseling session
$135: Three sessions for children who have witnessed domestic violence
$500: A month of on-call advocacy for victims of domestic violence police calls
All contributions are tax-deductible, and you’ll receive an emailed receipt immediately after you donate.
No amount is too small! I am truly grateful for each and every donation.
Thank you so much for your support! If you want to register for the event or learn more about it, visit http://hotchocolaterun.com.
