October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Join us for our 9th annual WALK TOGETHER Against Domestic Violence at Van Saun Park in Paramus, NJ during the month of October for Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Domestic violence—also known as intimate partner violence—affects more than 12 million people each year. That includes women, men, and children.
Domestic violence happens everywhere, including right here in Bergen County. Ninety percent of Bergen County homicides are linked to domestic violence. Last year, Center for Hope & Safety served more than 1,600 Bergen County adults and children. Many more are experiencing domestic abuse but are unable to leave for a myriad of reasons.
Join us for our family-friendly 3K walk through Van Saun Park to show your support for those impacted by domestic violence and to help us spread awareness and increase prevention in Bergen County.
Walk with us …
- For all the adults and children who are living with abuse
- For all the survivors who are on their journey to safety and hope
- For all the family members and friends who support those living with domestic violence and survivors
- For all the emergency, medical, and mental health professionals who support the path to healing
- For all those who have lost loved ones because of domestic violence
We walk for hope, safety and change.
Your participation will support the work of Center for Hope & Safety’s comprehensive suite of services that enable those impacted by domestic violence to rebuild their lives.
Our Walk is a festive event of solidarity and support.
Everyone wears purple—the color for domestic violence awareness—in fun and creative ways and this year, we will present participant awards (and a shout out on social media) for the most spirit (individual & team), most dollars raised (individual & team), and largest team!
