Hello Neighbors,

Please join us for the 10th annual - and final - Laura’s March, a 5k to End Sexual Violence to be held this Saturday, September 10th in Oakledge Park. If you’ve never attended or supported this important community event, now’s your chance! Since establishing the Fund in 2005, we have donated over $160,000 to numerous Vermont organizations and charities. We need your help to make this last March as successful as possible so we can continue to give back for years to come!

To register and start fundraising, or to make a donation, go here: http://www.firstgiving.com/lkwfund/lauras-march-2016

We have selected three primary beneficiaries for Laura’s March 2016:
· H.O.P.E. Works, which will expand free counseling and clinical support services to children, youth, and their non-offending family members;
· Pride Center of Vermont, which will expand sexual violence prevention advocacy to LGBTQ immigrant farm workers; and
· The Safety Team, an organization of 7 women martial artists that will work with local colleges to teach women self-defense, self-advocacy skills, and comprehensive safety techniques.

September 10 will mark the 10th annual Laura’s March, and we feel it is an appropriate time to make this the final year for Laura’s March. Be assured that The LKW Fund itself will continue its work in perpetuity and remain committed to its dual mission of ending sexual violence and helping survivors and supporting programs for children. We pledge to keep you informed of our activities as we move forward.

Hope to see you there!
