Hello Friends and Family,
Thanks for visiting my Hot Chocolate Run fundraising page!
On December 7, Amelia and I are walking in the 11th Annual Hot Chocolate Run. This great event raises funds for Safe Passage, the organization addressing domestic violence in Hampshire County. Participating in the Hot Chocolate Run is an amazing experience. There is nothing like waking up on a cold December morning and joining thousands of walkers and runners who want to take a stand against domestic violence. This year I'm thrilled to be joining the team from Williston. (The group includes the cross-country team who will definitely lap me! I'm so proud to be joining these teenagers motivated to make change.)
It would mean so much if you could donate whatever you can to my fundraising efforts. 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
BUT ANY AMOUNT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Thank you so much for considering donating to a cause that is very near and dear to my heart.
With love,
Emily and Amelia
PS
All donations are tax-deductible. You'll receive a receipt via email directly after making a donation.
