People at risk of domestic violence – the people you support through your Hot Chocolate Run fundraising efforts – face even greater dangers during this pandemic. As access to family and friends has been restricted, people at risk of violence are also having to spend more time in the presence of their abusers.
Participants join us year after year to spend time with family and friends, run a challenging 5K course with serious competitors, enjoy hot chocolate, and most importantly, to support Safe Passage and our important programs for survivors of domestic violence.
The Hot Chocolate Run is a season-long series of activities and community connection. Be part of a caring community raising money and sending a powerful message of love and support to survivors of domestic violence.
Register today. Then, invite your friends and family to support your run or walk with a donation to your fundraising page. You’ll receive a link as soon as you sign up!
