WCSC's 36th Annual women race: August 23 through 30, 2020!

Check out the latest e-news in Voices, now!

We are pleased to announce that our annual peace race will be virtual this year! Our anti-viral message is that the movement for peace and justice will continue, for a week during August 2020! Girls and women can register online, complete their two miles anywhere in the world and post their time online during the week. Create a team of Racers or a group to cheer you on as you participate. Gear up and get ready to run, jog, walk, skip, dance–move!–to promote peace and healing! All proceeds benefit people impacted by violence through WCSC’s advocacy, programs and services in the community. Click here to visit our Women Race page for more information.

It’s August, and incredible that we are eight months into 2020! So far it has been a year of unique challenges. Seeing this as a time of reset, to rediscover ourselves and to determine what changes we want in our lives can create hope. And hope is more powerful than fear. Recognize your strength and resiliency.  You have made it through six months of a global pandemic and two months of Hurricane Season 2020. You are stronger for it.
