Walk In the Park To Help Domestic Violence Victims

HARTFORD, CT — Dunkin Park in Hartford is hosting a special event on Saturday, Sept. 28, that aims to help a local organization aid victims of domestic violence.

The annual Jennifer Farber Dulos Memorial Walk to End Domestic Violence will take place that day starting at 3 p.m. at the home of the Hartford Yard Goats, 1214 Main St., Hartford.

Proceeds of the event will benefit Interval House, which is a Hartford-based nonprofit that works with victims of domestic violence and helps provide safe spaces for those fleeing the scourge.

Dulos was murdered in 2019 after being attacked in her New Canaan home and, although her body was never found, her husband Fotis Dulos was charged with her murder.

Fotis Dulos eventually committed suicide while in custody and his former girlfriend, Michelle Traconis, was convicted and sent to prison earlier this year.

The shocking crime dominated Connecticut's news cycle for years and it shed light on the plight of domestic violence victims.

Saturday's event is slated to take place one day after Farber Dulos' birthday. She would have been 56.

The walking portion of the program will take place inside the baseball stadium at about 4 p.m., with a speaking program slated for 4:40 p.m.

Expected to be on hand for the program is Interval House President and Chief Executive Officer Mary-Jane Foster; WTNH Channel 8 news anchor Dennis House; House's wife Kara Sundlun, a WFSB Channel 3 news anchor; along with supporters and advocates for victims/survivors.

Admission to walk is $25 for adults and $10 for children under 12.
