A Walk to Raise Awareness
Sunday, October 12, 2025
Bo Diddley Plaza
We are thrilled to announce our inaugural fundraiser, Strength in Strides! This brand-new fall initiative is a downtown walk to spread awareness during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This will be a special event that we hope and encourage organizations, families, friends, and businesses in our tri-county service area to participate in and show their support for survivors as we walk together against violence in our community!

Fundraise for Survivors!
You are invited to join our fundraising team and help bring awareness and support to our mission by sharing a personalized Strength in Strides fundraising page with your friends and family! You can also create a fundraising team and invite your coworkers, friends, and family to be a part of your fundraising team! As soon as we launch our Strength in Strides page in June, you can begin fundraising immediately!
There will be many ways our fundraisers can earn cool event swag, and we'll have prizes for our top fundraisers and fundraising teams who will be recognized on October 12 at our Strength in Strides Walk!

Sponsor the Strength in Strides Awareness Walk!
The Strength in Strides Awareness Walk will be an impactful way for your organization/business to ally with Peaceful Paths in our fight against violence in our community and to take an afternoon to show support for survivors during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Please take a moment to preview the materials and reach out to Stephanie Freas, Development Director, with any questions. You can call 352.219.6560 or email stephanief@peacefulpaths.org.
