 What is the EMPOWERUN/WALK 5K?

 

  1. The 12th annual A Safe Place EMPOWERUN/WALK 5K is a dynamic fundraising event uniting 400+ runners, friends, and supporters for a memorable spring day. Together, we run, walk, or donate to aid survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking while supporting vital programs for Chicagoland families.

  3. Funds raised at the EMPOWERUN/WALK 5K enable us to sustain our comprehensive services for families affected by domestic violence and human trafficking, while also advancing community awareness of the profound impact and repercussions of violence. As the primary service provider in Lake County dedicated solely to supporting survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking, A Safe Place plays a vital role in addressing these critical issues within our community.
