"It sends a strong message to the women in our community that there is a support system for them." The October 1 event will feature keynote speaker Cheryl Strayed, author of the bestselling memoir Wild, which tells the amateur hiker's tale as she struggles to find inner peace during her 1,000 mile journey. Her story inspired the 2014 release of the movie adaptation of 'Wild.' Proceeds raised by this event will directly benefit the YWCA's services for domestic violence victims and their children.
