Campuses join event in Calgary and Lethbridge to help women and children escape family violence
Calgary, AB – September 17, 2012 – It takes a real man to wear heels. To prove it, the male staff members from Reeves College in
Calgary City Centre and
Lethbridge are slipping them on in support of the YWCA’s Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event in both cities.
Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is an annual fundraising event to support the work the YWCA does to break the cycle of family violence and help keep women and children safe. Open only to men, participants take a stand by donning a pair of pumps and completing laps around a designated venue. High heels are provided for participants and a number of sizes are available. The event will take place at Olympic Plaza in Calgary and Galt Park in Lethbridge.

staff members at Reeves College realize the important work that the YWCA does helping women and children walk away from family violence,” says Larry Heinzlmeir, VP of Marketing for Reeves College. “We’re proud to participate in the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event in Calgary and Lethbridge.”
