<\/a><\/p>\nSaturday, June 6, 2026<\/span><\/h3>\nWalk: starts at 10:30am at the YWCA (14 Clayton Ave. Cortland)<\/span><\/h3>\nRegistration: $25 per person (includes a free t-shirt)<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\nCan’t walk on June 6th? No worries! You can still support this event by signing up to be a fundraiser.<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n <\/p>\n
We’ll be walking from the YWCA to Grace Brown House and back on Saturday, June 6th, to support all four of our programs. We were so inspired by everyone’s contributions last year that we’ve raised our goal to $30,000! After the walk, we’ll have chicken BBQ and patio games in the YWCA parking lot, an open house with community groups tabling in our gym, and then a ball roll down Clayton Ave.<\/p>\n
The walk will begin at the main facility on Clayton Ave and travel along Main St. and N. Main St. to Homer Ave., passing our Here We Grow early learning child care center along the way. We’ll continue to the turnaround point at the Grace Brown House, a permanent supportive housing facility where our Aid to Victims of Violence Program provides services to women domestic violence survivors and their children. The return route follows Groton Ave. and ends back at the YWCA parking lot.<\/p>\n
