How to Get Involved

This event has two main elements, which include a community awareness walk and a fundraising component, with the shared goal of increasing awareness and financial support for our mission. We invite you to participate and show your support for survivors by creating a Peer-to-Peer fundraising page, joining us during Domestic Violence Awareness Month at the Strength in Strides awareness walk on October 12th, and/or becoming a sponsor for the event.

Fundraise for Peaceful Paths

We invite you to show your support by creating a peer-to-peer fundraising page. Fundraise as an individual or create/join a team! The setup takes less than 2 minutes, but the impact you’ll make lasts forever. By sharing your commitment with friends, family, and colleagues, you can help raise funds and awareness that extend our reach and deepen our impact. Every dollar raised through your network helps us provide essential services to survivors of domestic violence. We also will have some fun prizes and recognition for the top individual and team fundraisers. Anyone who raises $100 or more will receive a Strength in Strides t-shirt, which they can wear to show their support of Peaceful Paths at the walk and all year long!

Register to Walk with Us

We invite all individuals and organizations to join us at Bo Diddley Plaza in Downtown Gainesville on October 12, 2025 from 2pm to 5pm, to walk alongside other allies. This free walk will follow a short 20-minute sidewalk course through downtown, followed by food trucks, music, awards, and fun for all ages! Although registration for the walk is free, we ask that everyone who plans to participate registers and fills out the required waiver.
