This unique walk allows RCC to galvanize support from men and boys to join the effort to avert sexual violence, and bring awareness to the struggles victims face.
Participants can register for $10, and are encouraged to raise additional funds from family, friends and/or colleagues to support their effort to "walk-a-mile" around Forsyth Park in high-heel shoes--symbolizing the steps victims take toward healing. Females can participate by providing support to males on their "journey".
A "Teal HEEL" award will be presented to the group and individual with the most funds raised.
To register or for more information, call 233-3000 or e-mail events@rccsav.org.
