Victory for Victims Walk/Run Raises Over $81,000 in Support of Survivors!

On Saturday, April 5, 2025, the community came together in an inspiring show of support at the 23rd Annual Victory for Victims Walk/Run at Hansen Dam Aquatic Center in Lakeview Terrace, CA. Thanks to your generosity, we raised over $81,000 to support survivors of assault, abuse, and human trafficking.

This incredible total benefits two critical programs:

~ The Center for Assault Treatment Services (C∙A∙T∙S) – offering free forensic medical exams and interviews to victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and human trafficking.
~ Medical Safe Haven (MSH) – the only program in Los Angeles County providing integrated medical and mental health care for survivors of human trafficking.

With 502 participants, 30+ vendor booths, and beautiful weather, the day was filled with energy, purpose, and compassion. From the 10K and 5K races to the Kids Fun Run and the Canines for C∙A∙T∙S Friendly Dog Walk, every step taken helped raise awareness and vital funding for services that offer healing, dignity, and hope.
