Proceeds from the event will benefit the Rape Crisis Center of Medina and Summit Counties. The walk is scheduled to begin at 6 PM with registration starting at 5 PM in Downtown Akron (Lock 3). Opening ceremonies will begin at 6 PM and a post-walk reception and award ceremony will follow shortly after.Participants will enjoy food, music and games. Men, women, and children are invited to participate and walk-in participants are welcome. Men are encouraged (but not required) to walk in women’s shoes and participants are being asked to obtain a minimum of $20.00 in sponsorship donations.
