Help women facing domestic violence and homelessness
HKWS is super excited to share this year’s City2Surf adventure with our community!
This year we aim to raise $25,000 to help deliver our vital support services to women who come to us in the most desperate circumstances.
Funds raised will help us innovate and extend out outreach program, advocate for women in need, and raise awareness about how we can all make our community a safer, kinder space.
Come and join us for some fun while raising money for women who need our support.
You can run, walk, skip or stroll with the HKWS team, or you can sponsor a family member, friend or yourself to “Run for Shelter” on your own.
Your support helps women experiencing domestic violence and homelessness. Every dollar, for every kilometre counts.
COVID-19: Sadly, COVID-19 could affect whether City2Surf goes ahead. Our priority is keeping our community healthy and safe. We are awaiting updates from the event organisers.
It’s a simple two-step process:
Step 1: Register on the City2Surf website
Step 2: Setup a team here and begin fundraising
See you on 17 October 2021!
