Austin Alpha Phis and the SafePlace Walk
 

18th ANNUAL WALK FOR SAFE FAMILIES & SAFE STREETS
Walk for a Future Without Violence.

The Walk for Safe Families & Safe Streets is SafePlace’s largest public awareness and fundraising event offering thousands across Central Texas a fun and easy way to spend time with friends and family, honor those lost to the tragedy of violence, stand with survivors of domestic and sexual violence and raise money in support of SafePlace's mission to end violence.

The Austin A*Phi Alumnae group is participating in the 2005 SafePlace Walk for Safe Families & Safe Streets on Saturday, April 16th. Help us help SafePlace get one step closer to ending domestic and sexual violence.

Last year's Team goal was $500 and we raised close to $3,000. This year's Team goal is $1,500 and we are already at 41%.

Plus here is an update on how we did in the Safeplace Walk!

On April 16, 2005, the Austin Traditional Alum Group and the Austin Ivy Connection participated in our second joint philanthropy project --- the 18th Annual SafePlace Walk for Safe Families & Safe Streets. Seven sisters participated in the Walk and raised $1,925.63 --- well over our fundraising goal!!

Thank you so much to all of our sisters who joined in. We had a wonderful time spending the morning together and supporting a WONDERFUL cause. We plan to form another team next year --- and hope you can join us in 2006.



P.S. The Walk is SafePlace’s largest annual fundraiser. Our donations for the SafePlace Walk makes a difference right here in the Austin community to women, children, and men devastated by abuse as they struggle to rebuild their shattered lives. They could not do this important work, much less do it well, without the consistent and generous support of their friends in the community. (SafePlace is the merger of the Center for Battered Women and Austin Rape Crisis Center.)
