If you would like to honor someone affected by domestic violence, purple hearts will be available to write their name on and wear as a symbol of their courage.

WALK OR RUN WITH YOUR FOUR LEGGED FRIEND All funds raised through this additional $10 registration fee will go towards providing assistance to pets of survivors of domestic violence who reside in our shelters. Dogs must be on leash.

Our mission is to stop domestic violence abuse for everyone through intervention, education and advocacy.
