October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and DVSAS is holding its bi-annual 5K Run/Walk on Sunday, Oct. 25.

This event is open to all ages and abilities in an effort to generate energy and awareness towards ending violence in our community. This month DVSAS is looking specifically at violence in teen relationships. Participants are encouraged to raise money and awareness by gaining pledges from friends and family to help support the organization. The race will start and finish in front of the public school. Island Market is donating refreshments for participants to refuel after the race.

Registration is $10 and long sleeve shirts are $15. For pre-registration and pledge forms go to the DVSAS office located in the Airport Center. Registration will open at 8:30 a.m. in the covered outside play area at the school. The race starts at 10 a.m. rain or shine.
