Hello!!!
It's that time of year again! For many of you you already know that this will be my last race in a series I committed to last year. 1 5K race a month for an entire year. This is the last time I will be running and asking for donations so please help me go out with a bang! I say this now but mayhap my knees will have recovered enough for another jaunt through downtown Northampton next year, but right now it's not looking likely so, as I said before, help me go out with a bang! Donate big...it's tax deductible and you will feel so much better donating to this absolutely worthy cause- Safe Passage. Read on for more information about this program for battered and abused women. Thanks in advance for your generosity!!
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.
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.
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 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:
$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.
