Walk Against Violence

The Women's Crisis Center's four mile Walk Against Violence through Newburyport on Sunday, April 27, is an event for all ages.

Registration opens at 11:00 a.m. and the Walk starts at 1:00 p.m. in Market Landing Park (behind The Firehouse Center). Musical entertainment, clowns, face painting, chair massages, water, and post-walk refreshments are provided. Team and individual prizes, in both adult and youth categories, will be awarded based on paid pledges. "Our Walk Against violence symbolizes the journey away from a life dominated by violence. It is a passage made one step at a time," comments Suzanne Dubus, Executive Director. "Our agency provides crisis intervention, prevention and educational services such as a 24 hour hotline, legal advocacy, emergency shelter, counseling, referrals, as well as workshops and outreach programs."
