Tempe nonprofit hosting Sexual Assault Awareness Walk
1st awareness walk in Arizona
Posted
Path Matching, a non-profit based in Tempe, is hosting the state's first Sexual Assault Awareness Walk at Tempe Town Lake.
The purpose of the event is to empower survivors and build community support in reducing sexual assault, according to a news release. The walk will be held on April 16th at Tempe Town Lake at 8:30 a.m. Visit Pathmatching.com or Eventbrite to sign up for the walk.
This is a family-friendly event. There will be a walk, relaxing meditation, yoga session, food and fresh-pressed juice. The SAAM2k is a 2k walk and 1-day outdoor resource center. Path Matching has partnered with over 10 leading nonprofits in the sexual assault, domestic violence and human trafficking spheres to provide survivors with resources.
Donations for the event will go to Path Matching for the purposes of SAAM2k walks, community guides, and immersive programs. This event is fully self-funded by Samantha Vrcic, a survivor on a mission to empower other survivors.
"Path Matching started as a non-profit to connect sexual assault victims to each other by the perpetrator's name through anonymous testimonies," said Vrcic, executive director and founder of Path Matching, "It has turned into so much more. We hope that community members, students, and survivors will join us on April 16th to empower survivors of sexual assault."
