Royal LePage Ville-Marie recently hosted a Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event to raise funds and awareness for gender-based violence.
The event featured a group of 12 men wearing bright red high heels, accompanied by their supporters.
Together, they walked just over a mile through the streets of Monkland Village in Montreal, collecting more than $4,200 in pledges.
Funds raised will be donated to local shelter, Auberge Transition, via the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation.
“We had a wonderful time walking together to show our support for women in our community who have been affected by domestic violence,” says broker/owner Georges Gaucher. “We cannot wait to grow this event next year and hope to double our impact.”
“When men lend their voices to help stop violence against women, it sends a powerful message,” says Shanan Spencer-Brown, executive director of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation.
“I’m thrilled to see the first Walk a Mile in Her Shoes take place in Montreal and am grateful to the team at Royal LePage Ville-Marie for organizing this important event.”
