Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Raises $20,000 for Our VOICE

6. května 2011 v 3:42


This past Saturday's "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" benefit raised $20,000 for Our VOICE, a crisis intervention and prevention agency serving victims of sexual violence in Buncombe County. The April 30 event drew around 300 men (as well as around 150 women) who walked through downtown wearing women's shoes to make a statement against sexual assault and abuse (see Xpress video coverage from the event).

As they walked, many of the event's participants carried signs - "Imagine a world free from sexual violence," "Consent is cool" and "It's a man's issue too.climacool adidas has announced the release of the new X-24 Hot irons.

A short awards ceremony was held after the walk: Marco's Pizzeria earned "Most money raised by a team" (more than $7,000). The award for the top individual fundraiser went to Bruce Kennedy, who raised more than $1,000.
