Stories of Strength
On May 1, 2008, as Safe Passage welcomed Massachusetts First Lady Diane Patrick to the Clarion Hotel in Northampton
First Lady Diane Patrick delivered a moving speech that held the audience breathless for over 20 minutes. Our live auction featured auctioneer Kelsey Flynn , who led the audience in bidding on a variety of donated items, ranging from a garden package to a multi-course beer dinner to Red Sox tickets. Attendees enjoyed an inspiring performance by Evelyn Harris, who closed the evening by leading the audience in song.
This event raised $22,000 for Safe Passage. This money helps us to continue providing the information and support women need in order to make positive and empowered choices for themselves and their families. We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to and attended this event.

2007 Hot Chocolate Run
Dear Friends,
Safe Passage extends our sincere thanks to each and every person who contributed to make the fourth annual Mayor Higgins’ Hot Chocolate Run such an amazing experience.
We are especially proud of the 2,200 walkers and runners and more than 130 volunteers who braved the bitter weather in an uplifting demonstration of community support.
In addition to creating a one-of-a-kind launch to the holiday season, you and your neighbors raised $45,000 for Safe Passage’s domestic violence services for families.
During the many months of work leading up to Saturday’s event, we learned a lot about the community where we live, most importantly, that we are surrounded by very generous, kind and talented individuals – good neighbors by any measure. When asked to join in by Safe Passage volunteers, you repeatedly replied, “Yes, I want to help.” And your outpouring of goods and services, dollars and time helped to make this year’s event an unprecedented, unqualified success.
Because you responded so positively, Safe Passage has more resources to provide critical direct services and shelter to families whose lives have been damaged by domestic violence. We celebrate and applaud your community spirit and the message of hope and support you have sent to all the people Safe Passage serves.
The spirit of the Hot Chocolate Run inspires Safe Passage’s work all year long. We invite you to learn more about us at our website www.safepass.org and consider becoming a volunteer.
With deep gratitude and warm wishes for the new year,
BethAnn Albro-Fisher, Chair, Mayor Higgins’ Hot Chocolate Run
