CCASA will be running in the Scotiabank Marathon

Thursday, April 19, 2012

On Sunday May 27, CCASA will be participating in the 2012 Scotiabank Marathon to raise awareness of sexual violence in our community and raise much needed funds.

Sexual violence is a crime that affects a many people in our communities. In Calgary, studies show that 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys will experience sexual abuse by the age of 16.  Sexual violence exists in silence, secrecy and shame but with your help we can help break that silence and raise awareness of this issue. 

We would like to invite anyone and everyone to join in our cause by either running with our team (in any of the race categories) or by donating to CCASA. 
To sign up for participation in a running event, please visit:
