I would be moved to see your name on my donation page while I Walk a Mile in Her Shoes. Sexual violence is much more prevelant than many of us realize. It touches communities by physically and emotionally affecting our friends, neighbors and family. I'm truly grateful for your continued support. 

Walk to Support!

Walk A Mile in Her Shoes is a fun-filled morning for the whole family with three fabulous ways to support YWCA and sexual assault survivors. This year's event takes place from 7:30-10:30 am on Saturday, October 29th:

• Register to Walk and Fundraise in advance of the event to support our survivors (instructions below). Then join us at 145 Ululani Street in Hilo for a fun morning starting at 7:30 on October 29th; prizes for most funds raised, best decorated shoes, judges choice and more.  
• Donate: to donate to an individual that is participating to support victims of sexual violence, select the "DONATE" button on this page!   
• Sponsor the event: When you become an event sponsor, you help make sure our YWCA team is there to help victims of sexual violence every day and make the 2022 Walk A Mile event the most successful yet. We also gratefully welcome donations of gift certificates or other prizes for walkers.
