Randi’s Race
This annual race is a tribute to Randi Trimble
who was brutally murdered by a hit man
hired by her husband in 2003. An on-going
fundraising event such as Randi’s Race is
essential to Domestic Violence Services
of Cumberland and Perry Counties (a
PCADV member program) to ensure that
the necessary funding will be available to
assist victims of domestic violence in our
community.

Step Out Against
Domestic Violence
Step Out is a 5K Walk/Run held in
communities across the country to raise
awareness about domestic violence and the
services available locally. It also helps raise
funds to support the elimination of domestic
violence. Turning Point of Lehigh Valley
sponsors a Step Out event annually as part
of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Awareness Is More Than A Month!
Domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking
and child abuse each have a designated
month in which many programs focus energy
to raise awareness within their communities.
VAWnet (National Online Resource Center
on Violence Against Women) provides
information annually about suggested events
and activities.

The Domestic Violence Awareness Project
developed a “Sample DVAM Events” pdf that
included information about different types of
events, costs and planning considerations for
those events.

If you’re looking for awareness-raising events
throughout the calendar year, Beyond April
and October (also available on VAWnet
website) maps out a year of events and
suggestions to keep your message visible to
multiple audiences.
