Walk a Mile with Family Services

What on earth do you have on your feet?!

The International Men's March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence

There’s an old saying: “You can’t really understand another person’s experience until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.”  Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® asks men to literally walk one mile in women’s high-heeled shoes.  It’s not easy walking in those shoes, but it’s fun and gets the community talking about a difficult subject--gender relations and sexual violence.

On April 30, 2011, FSI’s Crime Victims Assistance Program will host its first Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event at Marist College.

Walk as an individual or get your friends or club to register as a team. Have some fun as you compete in your red high heels. Get your girlfriends to cheer you on. It's for a great cause -- to raise awareness and funds to stop gender violence. More details to follow.

Everyone is welcome.  We are currently seeking sponsors.  Contact Sharon Doane 452-1110 x3127 or sdoane@familyservicesny.org.
