AVON FOUNDATION
Need for Speed Against Domestic Violence
National Charity Partner Relay Series

Timberline Events LLC and the Wild West Relay are proud to be part of the Avon Foundation's Need For Speed relay series to raise money to support programs against domestic violence.

OBJECTIVE

To increase funding and awareness for children who are victims or witnesses of domestic violence nationwide by partnering with relay races across the country and offer runners the opportunity to dedicate their participation to this important cause.

NEED FOR SPEED AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Please dedicate your participation in the Wild West Relay to a friend, relative, or co-worker who has been affected by domestic violence, and start raising donations in their honor. If you are fortunate enough not to know someone affected by domestic violence, you can still help us raise money for this important cause. Domestic violence is witnessed by up to 10 million children each year, and affects 1 in 3 women worldwide—please help us end this devastating cycle.

FUNDRAISING IS EASY!

There is no fundraising requirement, but all participants are asked to raise or donate at least $50 to help children of domestic violence. Once you register, you can set up your own personal webpage and send emails to your friends and family inviting them to support you and to share in your Relay experience.

WIN GREAT PRIZES! - to be announced

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?

Funds raised by each partner relay will remain in the local community. The Avon Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity manages and disburses the funds raised. The Need for Speed Against Domestic Violence National Relay Series will focus on the challenges faced by children of domestic violence - - with an emphasis on counseling, education and skill development to prevent them from becoming victims or abusers in the future. You can help by speaking out and creating a world in which violence is unacceptable.

The recipient of funds raised by runners in the Wild West Relay will go to the Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence www.ccadv.org

The Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence (CCADV) is dedicated to the elimination of domestic violence in all of its forms. We recognize that this requires a fundamental change in society’s views of gender and gender roles. Through community education, networking and the empowerment of battered women and children, CCADV serves as a forum for social action and the development of services for battered women and their families by bringing its membership and the community together.
