Hey everyone! Thanks for visiting my fundraising page for the annual Hot Chocolate Run! On Sunday, December 8th, I'll be participating in a 5k run in support of Safe Passage, an organization addressing domestic violence in Western MA.
I joined in the run last year and had an amazing time helping to support this organization, and we raised over $250! I would love to break last year's record to help even more, so I'm asking for your help. Please join me in the run, or if you can, make a donation for the organization here through my page - 100% of donation proceeds goes directly to Safe Passage! I have helped kicked-off my fundraising by putting down 10% of my goal.
Thanks!
-Jason

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 walk or 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. 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 register for the event or learn more about it, visit http://hotchocolaterun.com.
