Benefiting the Rape Crisis Center of Medina and Summit Counties

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes asks men to literally walk one mile in women’s shoes to raise awareness about sexual assault and help raise funds for The Rape Crisis Center of Medina and Summit Counties. Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is a unique opportunity for men to educate the community about a very serious subject and to rally the whole community to take action to prevent sexual violence.

Funds raised from Walk a Mile in Her Shoes will directly impact survivors of sexual assault in our community. For example:
$25-Will buy a sweatsuit for a survivor to wear home from a sexual assault exam
$40-Will cover expenses for one support group session for survivors
$100-Will pay for the cost of 14 hotline calls from survivors seeking support

So, challenge your buddies to join us! Together, we can help our communities to STOP sexual assault!
