Walk a Mile in Her Shoes at Milford Landing Marina

The Rape Crisis Center of Milford will host its 19th Annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes on Sunday, April 26, 2026 at Milford Landing Marina, 37 Helwig Street, Milford, CT 06460. Registration begins at 12 pm, and the walk starts at 1 pm in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Part of the international Walk a Mile in Her Shoes movement, the event invites men, women, and families to take part in a community walk that raises awareness about sexual assault, gender violence, and support for survivors. The event offers a lighthearted but meaningful opportunity for participants—many walking in high heels—to spark conversations about prevention and accountability while showing solidarity with survivors.

Participants can register individually or as a team and collect donations until 8 am on the day of the event. Fundraising incentives include RCCM merchandise, Target gift cards, and additional prizes. Awards will also be presented to the individual or team that raises the most funds, the participant wearing the highest heels, and the individual with the most creative outfit.

The day will include guest speakers, information about victim services and prevention education programs, and refreshments from local vendors. Families and pets are welcome, and organizers emphasize that the event is designed to build community while supporting an important cause.

Proceeds from the walk support the Rape Crisis Center of Milford’s free services for survivors of sexual assault and their families. In the past year, the organization served more than 700 individuals, including 150 children, and provided prevention education to thousands of local students.
