COME HAVE A BLAST DECEMBER 7th at the HOT CHOCOLATE RUN!!
START YOUR SEASON OF GIVING EARLY & SUPPORT SAFE PASSAGES!
Dear Sangha of friends,
Violence against women. Not okay.
I may be 50 and slower but I still got game!
Please consider donating money to contribute to this amazing organization's work while I get my booty out there and run this race!! Together we can help improve the life of and give hope to another woman, a mom, a child of a mom abused for a better future.
I've run it off and on over the years. Last year ran with a dear friend of my daughter's whom I've known since elementary school, the indomitable Becca Schermerhorn. Together we made strides, on and off the course. This year I have extra reasons to run and am asking for your support for other women and children who need a leg up.
"See by the light you leave behind!!"
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.
Will you join me in supporting this terrific organization?
Every day, Safe Passage helps survivors of domestic violence take steps towards a brighter and safer future. Some of these steps are easier, and some are harder. Every step is important.
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:
$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!
Thank you so much for your support! If you want to register for the event or learn more about it, visit http://hotchocolaterun.com.
