Men
from Fort Hays State University fraternities will host the fifth annual
"Walk-A-Mile in Her Shoes" philanthropy event at 6 p.m. Monday, March
11, in Cody Commons in the Memorial Union to raise money and awareness for the victims of sexual and domestic abuse.
All proceeds from
the event will go to Options Domestic and Sexual Violence Services, a
Hays-based organization that provides a variety of services to the
victims of sexual and physical abuse in western and central Kansas.
The event will
feature speakers from Jana's Campaign and 1100 Torches, two local
organizations dedicated to raising awareness of sexual and domestic
violence.
The night will
conclude with the men walking the ceremonial one-mile walk through the
FHSU campus while wearing high heels in honor of the victims of these
crimes.
This event is open to the public. For more information contact the FHSU Center for Student Involvement at 785-628-4664.
