On December 8, I'm joining an amazing team of friends who are participating in the 10th Annual Hot Chocolate Run. This great event attracts thousands of people who help raise critical funds for Safe Passage, the organization addressing domestic violence in Hampshire County. This is your chance to take one small action that has great power to transform the lives of women and children in our community. Do not put this off. Donate today!
My goal is to raise $500 or more for Safe Passage this year. A gift of that amount could help provide healing counseling for a child who has witnessed domestic violence. If 20 of my friends donate just $25, we can reach this goal. If 10 friends give $50, then we are already on our way to raising even more. You get where this is going... please don't make me do more math! I just hope you’ll join me.
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 run, I 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
$80: A drop-in support group session for survivors of domestic violence
$140: Education for parents on talking with their kids about domestic violence
All contributions are tax-deductible, and you’ll receive an emailed receipt immediately after you donate.
Thank you so much for your support! If you want to register for the event or learn more about it, visit http://hotchocolaterun.com.
Many thanks to all of you.
