Thanks for visiting my Hot Chocolate Run fundraising page! On December 8, I'm using my powers for good, not evil, and running in the 10th Annual Hot Chocolate Run. Allegedly this run takes place on the coldest day in December. Now why would a dyed-in-the-wool California Girl run outdoors in the freezing cold?
Because every day, women are trying to leave abusive relationships, often with their children, and need a helping hand: someone to talk to, a safe place to sleep, counseling for their children. The Hot Chocolate Run raises funds for Safe Passage, the organization addressing domestic violence in Hampshire County. Will you join me in supporting this terrific organization and bringing the gift of safety and security to women and children?
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.
Before I run, I’ve decided to Step Up for Safe Passage, and I’m asking you to join me. Please make a donation to support Safe Passage’s important work and give the gift of safety to women and children this holiday season. Safe Passage relies on people like you and me to bring hope, safety, and justice to women and families.
Here are some ways Safe Passage will put your gift to work:
$25: Resources, support and hope for a woman calling the 24-hour hotline
$75: Safe transportation for a family traveling to Safe Passage’s emergency shelter
$100: A drop-in support group session for survivors of domestic violence
$140: Education for parents on talking with their kids about domestic violence
$500: Healing counseling for a child who has witnessed violence
All contributions are tax-deductible, and you’ll receive an emailed receipt immediately after you donate.
You can make a difference for families affected by domestic violence. I hope you’ll join me!
Thank you so much for your support! If you want to learn more about it, visit http://hotchocolaterun.com.
