Darien's Male First Responders are Walking Against Domestic Violence

DARIEN’S MALE FIRST RESPONDERS

Men Walking Against Domestic Violence

In the First Annual

WALK A MILE IN HER SHOES® 06820

WALK-A-THON

 

Hosted by the Darien Domestic Abuse Partnership

to benefit domestic violence crisis services and awareness programs

  THE WALK

Teams of Darien First Responders, including the men of the Darien Police Department, Darien Fire House, Noroton Fire House, Noroton Heights Fire House and Post 53, are walking a mile in red high heels to show support and raise money for victims of domestic abuse.

The WALK A MILE IN HER SHOES® 06820 event is taking place on October 3rd, the first Saturday of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The event will kick off at Hindley School with an opening ceremony. First responders will then don their red high heels and Walk a Mile in Her Shoes®, ending back at Hindley School for their First Responder breakfast.

  THE CAUSE

Hundreds of Darien residents have been victims of domestic violence and many more have gone unreported. Domestic abuse takes a physical and psychological toll on the victim and the family.  The Darien Domestic Abuse Partnership is committed to promoting the fundamental right of all individuals to be safe in their personal relationships.

Net proceeds from the MILE IN HER SHOES® 06820 Walk-a-thon will fund awareness, educational and prevention initiatives in Darien.  Proceeds will also fund victim services provided by the Domestic Violence Crisis Center.
