Description
Please join us on Sunday, May 14th for CHANA's Race Against Abuse 5K and Fun Run as we raise awareness about domestic violence, sexual abuse and elder abuse, and fundraise for CHANA’s mission to empower survivors! Lets rally together to end abuse in our community.
As one of our largest fundraisers of the year, CHANA depends on the #RaceAgainstAbuse to help fund our crisis intervention, emergency shelters, counseling, legal advocacy and safety planning services. While this is a difficult time for all of us, many of CHANA’s clients are in a heightened state of danger due to being isolated in their homes with their abusers. Participating in CHANA’s #RaceAgainstAbuse is a way to stand up against domestic violence in our community, be a voice for those who are suffering, and let them know they are not alone!
