One of Peterborough’s most popular fundraisers returns in May following a lengthy pandemic-induced absence.
Walk A Mile In Her Shoes, which was last held in 2019, will be held May 24th in downtown Peterborough. A fundraiser for YWCA Peterborough Haliburton programs and services, the event sees sponsored men and women, many wearing high heels, walk down George Street.
YWCA philanthropy director Tina Thornton says while the event could have been held virtually during the pandemic years, its spirit has to be experienced in person.
While she hopes the goal of $20,000 will be realized, Thornton says raising awareness of the needs of clients is what it’s about.
Thornton adds there’s another aspect of event that’s key to the YWCA mission.
To register for the event, or to sponsor someone else, visit www.walkamilepeterborough.com. All ages, genders and abilities are welcome.
