Join Child & Family Center’s Purple Walk Domestic Violence Awareness 5k – Help Raise Funds to Support Survivors!

Child & Family Center will present its annual Purple Walk Domestic Violence Awareness 5K on Saturday, October 5 from 8:00am-11am at the Center’s main facility 21545 Centre Pointe Pkwy.
Please note that the date was changed from October 12th , since that is Yom Kippur, and apologize for initially scheduling the walk on this important holiday for the Jewish community. 
The event will raise funds and create awareness during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Hello Subaru of Valencia is the presenting sponsor.
Proceeds raised are critical to support the Center’s Domestic Violence Program, which provides safety, shelter, and support to survivors of domestic violence while working to break the cycle of abuse and creating healthy relationships. It will also provide funding for the Center’s 30-day emergency shelter, the only one in Santa Clarita.
Walk check-in opens at 8:00am. There will be many fun family activities before the walk begins including music, pancake breakfast courtesy of SCV Rotary, face painting and more. The 3.2 mile walk will start at 9:15 am. The route follows city sidewalks without crossing major intersections, has very little incline and is easy for all ages.
Bring your furry friends to walk with you. Entry is free for your pet. Pets are often used to threaten or manipulate those in abusive relationships. Purple Walk offers pets an opportunity to join the awareness and shed light on the dangers domestic violence has on pets in the home.
Walk registration for adults is $40 and includes pancake breakfast and finisher’s medal. Registration is $50 to include an event t-shirt. Teens are $20 ($30 to include t-shirt), and children ages 5-12 are $10 and receive the breakfast, and kids’ medal. All participants receive a $10 coupon to be used at MB2 Entertainment.
Increase your donation by creating or joining a fundraising team. Volunteers are needed to help at the event as well.
