It's that time again! Start thinking about what shoes you'll wear to the 7th annual Walk A Mile In Her Shoes®- Akron. This annual event challenges men to slip on women's shoes and walk a mile to raise awareness about the serious causes of, effects of and remedies to sexual violence.
This year's walk is shaping up to be the biggest and best one yet. Don't miss out on the excitement! This Year we will be meeting at Lock 3 in Akron on Friday April 27th at 5pm to kick off the pre-walk rally. The evening will be filled with great music by DJ Kenny Kid, great food and drinks, and an after party at ZAR Nightclub and Martini Bar. This is a great event for both adults and children; walkers of all ages are encouraged to participate!
Here's how you join in the fun:
Step 1: Recruit your friends (men, women and children) to start a team and commit to getting sponsors and donations.
Step 2: Register your team by emailing Getta Cornici at GettaC@scmcbws.org . Please decide on your team captain and a team name.
Step 3: Continue to recruit team members and donors. The three teams that raise the most money will win fabulous trophies and prizes. Last year the top winning team raised over $4,000 for this important cause!
Step 4: Show up at Lock 3 Park on Friday, April 27 with your walking shoes on! Friendly staff members will be there to collect your donations on site.
