3RD ANNUAL
"Walk a Mile in Her Shoes"
FUNDRAISER FOR THE SEXUAL ASSAULT CRISIS CENTER OF THE FOX CITIES

Each year, an ever-increasing number of men, women and their families are joining Walk a Mile in Her Shoes®: The International Men's March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence®. It's time to form teams for our 3rd annual local event, benefiting the Fox Cities. The walk will be on Sunday, June 1 at Memorial Park Pavilion

Registration: 12:30 p.m.
Opening Ceremonies: 1:45 p.m.
Walk Begins: 2:00 p.m.

Be part of "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, The Men's March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence®". You can march alone, or with your family and friends, or with a team. There is no registration fee to march, but if you raise $35.00 or more in pledges, you will receive a free T-shirt announcing your support to end violence against women and children. Go to the SACC website (http://www.sacc-foxcities.org/html/eventsActivities/eventsActivities.htm) to download a registration form.

We're asking Men to wear women's shoes during the event. There will be a selection of large sized women's shoes available at the Park pavilion during the pre-March activities to choose from, or you can stop by the Sexual Assault Crisis Center during the week prior to the March and pick your shoes out early.

Proceeds will benefit the Sexual Assault Crisis Center of the Fox Cities (SACC). SACC is the only non-profit agency in Outagamie or Calumet County that is solely dedicated to supporting survivors of sexual assault/abuse and their families. Our mission is to inspire change, instill a sense of healing and help to restore hope. SACC's confidential services are provided free of charge. We help anyone who is a sexual assault/abuse victim, and their families.

All pledges are 100% tax deductible.
