Child abuse and domestic violence knows no boundaries. It invades every social, ethnic and economic group. That's why, every year, we further our journey towards peace by walking, running or volunteering. Each of us takes steps to end violence in the home and bring peace to everyone. We believe that every person deserves to be valued, nurtured and kept safe. PEACE BEGINS AT HOME.

Proceeds from our athletic and recreational events help the United Family Services Shelter for Battered Women, which provides a safe haven, counseling and assistance to Charlotte, NC residents in need.
