The Center for Empowerment and Education (CEE) will hold its annual SafeWalk virtually the weekend of October 4th – October 6th, 2024. SafeWalk’s Honorary Chair this year is Ridgefield resident, Kathy Graham. SafeWalk is CEE’s premier event to unite the community in our vision to create safer communities free from interpersonal violence for all individuals in Northern Fairfield and Southern Litchfield Counties as well as raise much-needed funds to support our no-cost programs and services. Safewalk is one of CEE’s three major fundraising events and contributes to nearly 50% of the organization’s budget which is raised through private donations.
Individuals and teams are encouraged to walk, run, and fundraise from the comfort of their own home/communities. Choose a time anytime that weekend that works with your schedule, hop on a treadmill, walk around your neighborhood, or meet up with a group of friends and don your SafeWalk t-shirt (included with the registration fee.) Hashtag your photos to #safewalk2024. People of all ages are encouraged to participate and create their own personal peer-to-peer fundraising page to encourage family and friends to sponsor them with a donation. You can visit www.thecenterct.org to get started!
There is also an option to register your pet. Pet registration includes a pet bandana. Participants are encouraged to walk with their pets and send CEE the photos at linda.c@thecenterct.org.
