In 2008 The Monterey County Rape Crisis Center celebrated its 23nd Annual Together With Love Run/Walk, sponsored by the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula (CHOMP).

For the fourth year we ALSO held a 1K Kids Fun Run with over 140+ children ages 2 to 10 participating. The run/walk raised money for crisis intervention and prevention education services in our community.We deeply appreciate all the businesses and individuals who supported us, and the 1200 runners and walkers who participated in the event. We hope to see you again in 2009!

OTHER ANNUAL EVENTS

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
All throughout April, the Monterey County Rape Crisis Center works to raise awareness within the community about issues of sexual violence. This past April we joined national efforts to Decide to End Sexual Violence in a variety of events including:

April
Denim Day California
The Denim Day campaign was part of an international protest of an Italian High Court decision to overturn a rape conviction because the victim was wearing jeans. The Italian Supreme Court overturned a conviction against a 45-year-old suspect because his 18-year-old victim was wearing jeans at the time of the attack. The Court stated in its decision that, "It is common knowledge...that jeans cannot even be partly removed without effective help of the person wearing them...and it is impossible if the victim is struggling with all her might." The judgment sparked a worldwide outcry from those who understand that coercion, threats and violence go
hand-in-hand with the act of rape. The verdict became an international symbol of myth-based injustice for sexual assault victims. As part of Denim Day, the Monterey County Rape Crisis Center will coordinate with local businesses and cafes to spread the word about sexual violence within our community.

August
Automobilia Monterey
Once again, the Monterey County Rape Crisis Center will be the beneficiary organization for Automobilia Monterey. The expo will occur during Concours and Vintage Race week and features outstanding automotive memorabilia from the finest International dealers in a relaxed indoor setting. The event has always been a success for the Monterey Rape Crisis Center as we raised over $2000 last year. For specific information about this event, visit www.automobiliamonterey.com
