Thursday, September 18, 2014 will mark the first Domestic Violence Awareness Walk hosted by the Alton Police Department.
Walkers will park at the Liberty Bank Alton Amphitheater for registration (that begins at 6 p.m.) and then be shuttled to Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church where they will enjoy live music by the Marquette Catholic High School Choir. At 7 p.m. the group will walk together from Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church back to the Amphitheater, approximately one mile.
Once back at the Liberty Bank Alton Amphitheater, walkers will be seated for a photo and listen to testimonials from Domestic Violence Survivors in an attempt to educate the community of the impact living in an abusive situation.
A donation of $5 is requested from each adult walker and all money raised will directly benefit the Oasis Women’s Center of Alton.
