📅 Saturday, October 18, 2025
🕙 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
📍 City Hall Civic Square, Downtown Cambridge
Walk A Mile in Their Shoes is YWCA Cambridge’s annual family friendly community walk and fundraising campaign to end gender-based violence (GBV). On October 18, we’ll walk a symbolic one-mile route through downtown Cambridge to raise awareness and funds. This event is about walking in someone else's shoes and understanding the challenges many women and gender-diverse people face as victims of GBV. Every step helps our community access shelter, support and violence prevention programs in schools.
All proceeds directly fund:
- A 24/7 emergency women’s emergency homeless shelter
- Free, violence prevention education with youth across Cambridge
🔁 How It Works
Walk A Mile is a peer-to-peer fundraising event—that means you are the changemaker.
🚶🏽‍♀️ Register to Walk on October 18 & Celebrate with Food, Speakers, Music, and Family Fun! Red shoes encouraged! (We even have red heels in inclusive sizes if you really want to walk in someone else's shoes 😜)
✅ Become a Fundraiser, Join a Team or Donate.
📣 Fundraise through your Page & Download the Team Leader Toolkit.
💡 We’ve set an average goal of $250 per team! Share your story. Ask your people. Watch the impact grow.
✨ Why Join?
Because the need is urgent and the impact is real.
- 75% of women experiencing homelessness are survivors of GBV
- Only 13% of shelter beds in Canada are dedicated to women
- A woman or girl is killed every 48 hours in Canada
YWCA Cambridge’s youth programs reach kids as young as 8, but rely on community support to keep going.
