Thanks for visiting Robin Holland's Hot Chocolate Run fundraising page! This great event raises funds for Safe Passage, the organization addressing domestic violence in Hampshire County.
On December 2, I'm running or walking in this year’s Hot Chocolate Run. If you are kind enough to donate, just click the link, scroll down to where the box says donation amount, enter the $$$ you want to donate in the little box, click continue, and follow the prompts. I'm hoping to bring in at least $200 by November 30th. If enough of you make a small donation, that should be no problem. I will toast my hot chocolate to each one of you.
This is a little example of what Safe Passages provides, and what those services cost:
(they also run a shelter for victims of domestic abuse)
$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.
If you want to register for the event or learn more about it, visit http://hotchocolaterun.com. There is still time to register to run this weekend and I would love to take a brisk winter's run with any of you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I love you.
