Help raise money for Victims of Domestic Violence

YWCA Rock County is excited to announce the new partnership with the Janesville Farmer’s Market for the 2024 Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Event on October 12th at 9:30am at the JP Cullen Memorial Pavilion off of Festival Street in Downtown Janesville. The date will kick-off the Week Without Violence campaign which is part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October.

The 18th Annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is a unique walk that invites participants to walk a mile in women’s shoes to raise awareness and funds for domestic violence victims. The money raised benefits the domestic violence programs at the YWCA Rock County. YWCA Rock County provided 6302 nights of shelter in 2024, serving a total of 886 individuals in our community.

Anyone interested in participating in the walk that does not currently have a pair of high heel shoes can take advantage of the shoe fitting starting at 9:30am for those looking to borrow a pair for the walk. YWCA is asking for a five-dollar donation for the shoe rental. A brief program highlighting YWCA Domestic Violence Programs begins at 10:00am followed by the one mile walk through downtown Janesville concluding with Team Awards.

YWCA Rock County is looking for Teams to start their own fundraisers to help raise money for the event. The goal for the 2024 Event is to raise $45,000 for the Domestic Violence Programs at YWCA Rock County.

YWCA is seeking donations of items or baskets to auction off in the online silent auction and is also looking for businesses interested in sponsoring the 2024 event. Contributions will help YWCA Rock County provide vital resources and support to those affected by domestic violence. The donation or sponsorship will be acknowledged in the digital event program, on YWCA Rock County’s website and through social media channels, providing excellent exposure for your business or organization. Additionally, you will be making a meaningful difference in the lives of those impacted by domestic violence. Please contact Kari Dray at kdray@ywcarockco.com for more information.
