2015 Mayor's Walk Against Domestic Violence

Join other Midlands area candidates to “take steps” against domestic violence on Saturday, October 10. Starting at 9 a.m., the city of Columbia and the mayor’s office will host the ninth annual Mayor’s Walk Against Domestic Violence at beautiful Finlay Park, at 930 Laurel Street, Columbia. Sadly, and according to statistics, 24 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner on average in the U.S., equating to more than 12 million women and men annually. This is a great opportunity for participants to get some beneficial exercise and fresh air while lending support to a very worthy cause touching the lives of so many individuals and families across the nation. Exhibitor space is available.
