  • This is more than a walk.
    This is a statement.

    Your decision to raise funds is a declaration: that every person deserves to live free from violence and that we all have a role in making that possible.

    At the YWCA West Central Michigan, we walk for survivors. We walk to break the silence that too often surrounds domestic abuse. The money you raise fuels critical, life-saving services, ensuring that every survivor has a place to turn when they need it most.

    But just as important, your voice helps shift the culture that allows violence to persist. You’re sparking conversations. You’re spreading awareness. You’re helping us imagine, and build, a community where safety is a right, not a privilege.

    This toolkit serves as your guide as you embark on this work. Use it boldly. Use it with heart.
