Early Registration:
*This year, in light of the recent earthquake & our close ties with the Haitian community here we have decided to donate the cost of each early registrant's gift to local Haitian Community Organizations. We hope that you will support this decision by registering by Feb. 14th. Help us help others in this time of need!
Go the extra mile and fundraise!

Here's why people Walk for Change:
For yourself "Walking last year with all those people showed me that I am not alone and that there are people out there who want to help"
For someone you know "When my friend was raped, I didn't know what I could do to show her I supported her until I heard about the Walk"
For your community "I knew sexual assault happened on campus, I just didn't know what to do. One of my friends told us about the walk, so we decided to form a team."
BARCC is the only provider of comprehensive rape crisis services in the greater Boston area. Services include a 24-hour hotline, 24-hour ER accompaniment, counseling, legal assistance and community awareness and prevention programs. In the last year alone, BARCC helped over 4,000 survivors and another 10,000 people through prevention education, training and outreach.
