Blackburn Center's signature event, Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, takes place each April in Greensburg. Over a thousand participants from Westmoreland County and beyond come together to support Blackburn Center's mission to end domestic and sexual violence, and to raise awareness about these issues. Some wear high heels, while others prefer sneakers. Some carry signs, and others walk without signs. One thing they all have in common is a desire to speak out against gender-based violence. Since 2015, Sendell Motors has teamed up with Blackburn Center to make this unique event a success by becoming a major sponsor. The Walk provides Blackburn Center with much-needed funding to continue the services victims of violence count on, and to expand our community engagement in strategies to end gender-based violence. Blackburn Center provides a hotline that answers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, supportive counseling and therapy, a shelter for victims of domestic violence and their children, support during legal and medical proceedings, and more. Having the endorsement of Sendell Motors - through financial support and hands- on work the day of the event - showcases their commitment to Westmoreland County and the efforts of Blackburn Center. The Sendell team understands the importance of our services in the community, and they are dedicated to work with us to end violence and abuse.
