Break the Silence Charity Walk
Against Domestic Violence
First Annual Orange County Domestic Violence Task Force Charity Walk
Orlando, Florida: October is National Domestic Violence Awareness
Month. This month provides an excellent opportunity for the communities in
Orlando to demonstrate its support in ending Domestic Violence to the numerous
victims who are among us. Moreover, it is a wonderful opportunity to educate the
public on the seriousness of Domestic Violence and the prevalence of this
epidemic in our communities.
The Orange County Domestic Violence Task Force in partnership with the Orlando
Police Department will be hosting the First Annual Break The Silence Charity
Walk Against Domestic Violence. The proceeds will go to the Orange County
Domestic Violence Task Force to continue working in local areas to educate and
provide outlets for families who have been impacted by Domestic Violence. The
event will take place October 10,
2009, at Lake Eola in downtown Orlando.
Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. at
the Northeast corner of Lake Eola (in front of the Panera Bread Restaurant) and
the walk starts at 9:00
a.m. All local communities and businesses are encouraged to
participate. We appreciate your support of National Domestic Violence Awareness
Month and the ending of domestic violence. If you or your business would like to
get involved and help “Break the Silence”, please contact Lacey Lewis at
Llewis@sao9.org or Michelle Latham at
Mlatham@sao9.org.
