  A portion of the net proceeds from the 2010 You Go Girl! Half Marathon and 10K will benefit the YWCA of Pierce County.
   
  Visit the YWCA of Pierce County
   
  Since 1906, the YWCA Pierce County has transformed the lives of women and children through safety, healing, and empowerment. Over 13,000 women and children were served last year alone. The YWCA Pierce County was the first domestic violence shelter in the state of Washington and remains the largest in the county. The comprehensive services of the YWCA intend to offer support and healing to women and children by providing total care: shelter, legal services, therapeutic services, safety planning, and through meeting basic needs.

It's time to improve and expand! More space will offer the women and children served greater healing and dignity. Women and children fleeing violence will be afforded the peace of their own apartment unit.

It's time to offer more to our community members with the greatest need. Want to help?
