Thanks for visiting my Hot Chocolate Run fundraising page! On December 7, I'm participating in the 11th Annual Hot Chocolate Run. This great event raises funds for Safe Passage, the organization addressing domestic violence in Hampshire County.
As I have said in years past, this charity is extremely close to my heart. I feel personally obligated to do anything I can to help break the cycle of violence that continues to exist in silence in today's society. I know that I am only one person, but because I believe in the ripple effect, my small contribution can set things in motion for decades to come. Knowing a mother, father or child can be safe for even a night will make a difference. I am asking all my friends and family to join me again this year as I Step Up For Safe Passage.
***WIN A FREE ONE HOUR MASSAGE***
Anyone who donates $5.00 or more will be entered in a drawing for a free one hour massage or a 30 minute chair massage-winners choice. The only restriction for the drawing is that the recipient must live within reasonable driving distance.
Here are some ways Safe Passage will put your gift to work:
$30: Resources, support and hope for a woman calling the 24-hour hotline
$55: A survivor's first counseling session. For many of Safe Passage's clients, this is the first time they've felt heard. It's the first time in years that they've felt hopeful.
$120: A drop-in support group session for survivors of domestic violence
$225: Information, advice and support for a survivor facing a divorce or custody dispute
$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!
