Yesterday, I walked, and Scott and Jonah ran in the 10th annual Hot Chocolate Walk/Run (see updated photo--the red hats are given to participants who raise $100+), and you helped us raise a total of $926 this year for Safe Passage, the organization that addresses domestic violence here in Hampshire County. Overall, this year's incredible community event raised nearly $300,000 for this vital local service. The agency depends on this generosity and as a result now is able to provide prevention as well as crisis intervention services.
Every day, Safe Passage helps women and children take steps towards a brighter and safer future. Some of these steps are easier, and some are harder. Every step is important. Please know that your generous contributions make a difference, and I am truly grateful for your support in response to my 'shameless birthday appeal'. This is the first year that I've surpassed my fundraising goal, and I am thrilled to leverage my good fortune for such a worthy cause.
If you meant to make a contribution, but never quite got around to it, you may still donate to this event via this page through the end of this week.
Thank you again so much for your support!
In hopes of a safer world for us all,
Randi
