Harbor House of Central Florida and
Help Now of Osceola
Present the
Domestic Violence Awareness Walk/Run/Bike 2020
About the Event
October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which first began in 1981 by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence as a Day of Unity to connect battered women’s advocates across the country.
Domestic violence affects millions, both women and men, of every race, religion, culture and status. It’s not just punches and black eyes -- it’s yelling, humiliation, stalking, manipulation, coercion, threats and isolation. It’s stealing a paycheck, keeping tabs online, non-stop texting, constant use of the silent treatment, or calling someone stupid so often they believe it.
Nearly three out of four Americans personally know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence. Now is the time to take a stand. Support survivors and show your support against domestic violence all month long by participating in our local Domestic Violence Awareness Walk/Run/Bike.
The event is free. All donations will go to Harbor House of Central Florida and Help Now of Osceola.
