Thanks for visiting my Hot Chocolate Run fundraising page! On December 8, I'm running or walking (depending on the status of my minor foot problem) in the 10th Annual Hot Chocolate Run in Northampton, Massachusetts. This great event raises funds for Safe Passage, the organization addressing domestic violence in Hampshire County. Will you join me in supporting this organization?
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 work.
Here are some ways Safe Passage will put various contribution amounts to work (but any donation you can make will be put to good use -- and most appreciated):
$25: Resources and support 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!
I'm hoping for a good day, nice weather and plenty of participants and supporters.
Wish me luck -- and reasonable weather!
Thanks!
