Dunkin' Park

Jennifer Farber Dulos Memorial Walk to End Domestic Violence
Saturday, October 3rd | 9:00–11:00 AM | Dunkin' Park
Join us for a morning of community, connection, and hope. Interval House is more than just a house — we're a pathway for survivors on their journey to safety, and this walk brings that mission to life.
Bring the whole family for face painting, a visit with Chew Chew and Chompers, and age-appropriate activities on healthy friendships and relationships. We'll walk four laps (1 mile) around Dunkin' Park - leashed dogs, strollers, and wheelchairs all welcome - then gather for a brief program and a moment of silence to remember those we've lost and celebrate those who've found safety.
Tickets are $25 for ages 13+; kids 12 and under walk FREE. Every dollar raised goes directly to supporting survivors on their journey to safety — please consider an additional donation if you're able.
