Participate in fourth annual walk

The fourth annual Walk A Mile In Her ShoesTM to raise awareness about violence against women will take place on Broad Avenue again this year during the Broad Avenue Spring Art Walk. Starting at 5:30 on Friday, April 19, participants will gather on Broad at the music stand, those who dare will wear high-heeled shoes, and the mile walk will begin.

A minimum pledge to participate, or to sponsor a participant, is $20 ($10 for students). The money raised is tax-deductible and supports the efforts of the Memphis Area Women's Council in its domestic violence work. Participants can register the day of the event, or download it as a PDF.
