Due to a Jewish holiday on the Purple Walk’s original day, the Child and Family Center has decided to move the walk to better accommodate everyone.

The original date was October 12, but it has been moved to October 5 due to Yom Kippur.

“We apologize for scheduling the walk on this important holiday for the Jewish community,” stated a press release from the Child and Family Center.

The purpose of the Purple Walk is a 5k aiming to bring awareness to domestic violence.

The funds raised will go directly toward funding its domestic violence programs, which help victims and their children escape violent relationships. A 24-hour crisis hotline, counseling, legal advocacy and emergency shelter are some of the free services offered by the child and family center. The target amount is $85,000.

The cost to register is $40 for adults, $20 for teens and $10 for children under 12. A t-shirt is available for an extra $10. Dogs are welcome to walk alongside their owners during the 5k.
