The Fairfield County Bank team, Strength in Numbers, showed up in force to the SafeWalk supporting the Women’s Center of Greater Danbury. Organized by Kathy Graham and Kara Conn, the team included over 40 walkers and raised over $10,000, one of the largest fundraising teams. The SafeWalk event raised over $70,000 in total for the Women’s Center.
“The event was a huge success,” said Kathy Graham, Vice President at Fairfield County Bank and one of the event coordinators. “The SafeWalk event makes our community stronger. At Fairfield County Bank we are proud to provide both financial support and awareness for the great work championed by the Women’s Center.”

The Center helps with emergency shelter and support services, crisis intervention, primary prevention and training, community education, counseling, and advocacy. The Women’s Center was established as a place where the community can gather for support and try to improve their lives.
