Description
In light of the recent surge in domestic violence incidents across our region, Sheriff Nick Cocchi is once again teaming up with the YWCA of Western Massachusetts. Together, they're on a mission to raise awareness, fight this disturbing trend, and provide much-needed support to victims.
Lately, we've seen some heartbreaking domestic violence cases in Western Massachusetts, with tragic outcomes that have shaken our community. The upcoming 2024 Sheriff’s Shuffle race/walk is dedicated to benefiting the YWCA, with a clear focus on empowering victims and stepping in before situations turn fatal.
Join us on Sunday, September 29, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. at the beautiful Ashley Reservoir - Elks Lodge in Holyoke for a day that’s about more than just a run or walk—it’s about making a real difference. Your presence matters whether you’re up for the 5K run or prefer the 1.5-mile walk. Registration opens at 9:00 a.m. inside the Elks Lodge, and we’ll kick things off with a brief ceremony at 10:30 a.m.
This family-friendly fall event will have something for everyone—refreshments, food, awards, a raffle, the chance to meet service animals, and live entertainment. Plus, parking is a breeze with overflow spots nearby and a convenient shuttle service before and after the event.
We’re calling on our community to unite for this crucial cause. Your participation and support can truly make a difference in the lives of those affected by domestic violence. Let’s take a stand, together!
