The event is generously sponsored by 411 Therapy.
Two walk timeframes are available for participants to choose from: 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. & 2 – 4 p.m. in an effort to reduce the number of participants gathering and to provide appropriate space for social distancing.

The approximately 2½ mile walk will begin and end on the front lawn of the Southfield Municipal Campus.
The event will kick-off with a press conference prior to both scheduled events to announce the City’s new strategy to address and reduce the impact and occurrence of domestic violence. All walkers must register by Thursday, September 10 to participate at: http://walktoraiseawarenessofdv.qmigroupinc.com.
