A Walk to Raise Awareness
Sunday, October 11, 2026
First Magnitude Brewing Co.
We are thrilled to announce our 2nd annual Strength in Strides fundraiser! This fall initiative is a 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!
The pre-walk event and program will begin at 2 pm at First Magnitude, followed by a one-mile awareness walk through Depot Park. The start and finish of the walk will be located at First Magnitude Brewing Company. The fun-filled afternoon will include food trucks, music, and family-friendly activities to support awareness.
Event Start Time: 2:00pm
Walk Start Time: 3:15pm
Event End Time: 5:00pm

Register today & Support Survivors!
Join Peaceful Paths for our 2nd Annual Strength in Strides Awareness Walk on October 11, 2026, as we come together to support survivors of domestic violence and raise awareness about the challenges they face every day. Participants will learn about the free and confidential services offered by Peaceful Paths and discover how our community can help advance our mission to save lives and create change.
​
Registration is available in three ways: register as an individual, join an existing team, or create your own team to walk alongside friends, family, coworkers, or community members. Whether you participate on your own or as part of a group, every step helps raise awareness, show support for survivors, and strengthen our collective impact.
Once you register, you'll gain access to your own personal peer-to-peer fundraising page, making it easy to share your story, inspire others, and raise critical funds for survivors and their families. Every dollar raised helps Peaceful Paths provide emergency shelter, advocacy, counseling, legal support, and prevention education programs at no cost to those we serve.
