The Indiana Coalition Against
Domestic Violence (ICADV) is proud to host the 7th Annual Race Away From
Domestic Violence - to raise awareness and money to help us end domestic
violence in Indiana. It happens. Every nine seconds. Someone is a victim of
domestic violence. Sometimes it happens to a family member; other times, it
happens to those we least suspect. Regardless, it's up to all of us to end the
abuse and violence. You can help -- it's easy and fun! Come out and join us
rain or shine!
WHAT:
A 5 K competitive run, and family fitness run/walk/roll in downtown
Indianapolis, led by Reverend Richard Propes, a well-known Hoosier advocate in

nationally recognized for his wheelchair tours. The run will be timed and
scored and prizes will be awarded to top finishers. There will also be a Kids'
Race for children 12 and under.
WHEN: Saturday, August 14, 2010.
Registration begins at 6:45 A.M. and opening ceremonies follow at 7:40. The 5K

REGISTRATION INFORMATION:
You

division. You may register as an individual or as part of a team.
You may also download a copy of the Registration Brochure
(Adobe Acrobat version) if you prefer to register by mail. (Brochure will be
available soon, please check back.)
TEAM INFORMATION: Why form a team a
team? Walking or running with people you know makes participating in the ICADV
Race Away from Domestic Violence even more fun! Training and fund raising
together makes it that much easier to reach your goals. Teams can be made up of
co-workers, friends, family members or anyone who wants to do a great run/walk
for a great cause. Eliminating domestic violence is a team effort and Team
Captains are our leaders in that pursuit. If you can recruit five dedicated
people to walk/run with you (and we know you can!), consider becoming a team
captain. There will be another Team Competition in which prizes will be awarded
to the team that has the highest number of members as well as the team who
raised the most money.

Can I create a Web page for raising

web-based application for helping raise money through First Giving. Individuals

Your contacts are able to donate directly to you or your team by credit card.
Information on getting started with your web page will be posted soon. Please

**Note: Creating a web-page through
First Giving and collecting pledges online does not register you or your
teammates for the event. You will still need to do this by regular printed
entry form or
the online registration form which will be available soon.
