Spring Into Action 5K

In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, please join us for the 1st Annual Spring Into Action 5K Run/Walk to end sexual assault.

Sexual assault refers to sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the survivor. There are different forms of sexual assault including, attempted rape, fondling or unwanted sexual touching, forcing sexual acts or penetration also known as rape. 

Survivors of both stranger rape and acquaintance rape often blame themselves for behaving in a way that encouraged the perpetrator. It’s important to remember that the victim is a never to blame for the actions of a perpetrator.
