Run for Hope 2017
Donation protected
One in five women and one in sixteen men will be victims of sexual assault while in college. We believe these statistics can change and that we all have a role to play in making a difference.
In 2015 Greek women at Dickinson College, in collaboration with the Prevention, Education & Advocacy Center, held the first annual Run for Hope 5K run and walk to spread awareness and mobilize our community in support of those who have experienced sexual violence. The event brought over 600 participants and raised nearly $4,000 for the YWCA Rape Crisis Services of Cumberland of Perry Counties. Run for Hope exceeded everyone’s expectations, breaking College records for campus participation in a 5K fundraiser. We could not have done it without support from the entire campus and our community partners.
The YWCA has been helping to empower and advocate for girls and women for nearly a century. Today the YWCA provides a 24 hour rape crisis hotline, counseling and advocacy support, after school programs for youth, preschool, and many other services. They work tirelessly to make our community as inclusive and safe as possible, often with limited funding and resources. We recognize the importance of supportive services for those impacted by sexual violence and are committed to doing our part to help sustain this critical resource in our community.
We ask for your support in the form of a monetary donation to make this 2017 Run for Hope a success!
