WALK A MILE IN HER SHOES

April 16, 2010

Civic Center Plaza

12:30 to 2 pm

Minimum pledge per sponsor is $10.

Memphis Men for Memphis Women is staging an awareness walk/fundraiser which will benefit MAWC and the Erase Domestic Crime Collaborative. This event must be presented by men, as a demonstration of their concern about the state of domestic violence services in our community. The men will
either be wearing high heels or will display purple ribbons provided at the event on their shoes.

There will be a simple PA system in the area in front of City Hall/Federal Building to greet and encourage men who have signed on to walk. The route is South on Main, West on Madison, North on Front, and then East on Adams. The walk is on the sidewalk only; it is not athletic. We want to draw a crowd to cheer so please, both men and women, come join the fun even if you are not registered for the walk.
