THE WOODLANDS, Texas - First, you walk the walk. Then, you talk the talk. That’s the challenge for men at the upcoming “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” event on Saturday, Sept. 20 at Market Street – The Woodlands.

“Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” asks men to literally walk in women’s high-heeled shoes. The event was sparked in 2001 when a small group of men dared to totter around a park in high heels to raise awareness and funds for local rape crisis centers, domestic violence shelters and other sexualized violence education, prevention and remediation programs. Since then, the event has grown to become a world-wide movement with tens of thousands of men raising millions of dollars.

So men, put on some high heels and get ready for this amazing event! Check in is at 8:30 a.m. and the walk starts at 9 a.m. Participants can form a team, raise money or become an event sponsor. Sponsor opportunities range from $500 to $7,500. Money raised from the event will benefit the Montgomery County Women’s Center, which provides safe shelter, crisis intervention, counseling, legal and support services to victims/survivors of family violence, sexual assault, stalking and abuse in and provides education about such issues.
