Our largest fundraiser of the year, the Voices Against Violence 5k raises the necessary funds to support survivors in the MetroWest community with free, confidential services. Please consider sharing your personal fundraising page or your team's fundraising page with your family, friends and colleagues. With your help, we can provide survivors and their loved ones with the support and services they need.
Sponsoring the Voices Against Violence 5K Run/Walk is a GREAT way to support a critically important cause in your community, while raising awareness of your organization. Contact purplepassion@smoc.org for more information about sponsorship opportunities or to contribute a raffle prize.
