Steps for Social Change


  • Steps to End Domestic Violence (map)

This September, Self Care is Social Change

Join us for the 3rd annual Steps for Social Change fundraiser

All September, commit to pursuing physical wellness to promote personal healing and restoration to begin forming habits that will sustain the work ahead of us, all while raising critical funds to support those affected by domestic violence.

Create a fundraising page and start getting friends and family to sponsor your wellness goals! Or make a team and start reaching your goals with others! Each team member can make their own fundraising page and share it on social media! Can your team come out on top?

Throughout the month we will also be giving away some great prizes donated by local companies to the top fundraisers!

  • ECHO memberships

  • City Market gift cards

  • Farmhouse Group gift cards

  • Steps for Social Change Sweatshirts

And more!!

This year, we are elated to be hosting an in-person Field Day celebration. On Saturday, October 1st, each participant can make their goals a reality while donning their purple gear in support of Steps to End Domestic Violence and Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM)!

COMMIT TO SELF

Make a physical wellness plan to begin September 1st in anticipation of accomplishing a big feat on Saturday, October 1st. Pair that feat with a fundraising goal, and document your journey on social media.
