Thank you Sacramento for a 2017 full of support and encouragement. Our members took it “slow” this year in order to strengthen and update our foundation, vision, and goals. However, 2017 proved to be anything but slow for our members, volunteers, and community!

Aside from our many regular volunteer and drive activities this year, Chicas Latinas de Sacramento launched our annual Scholarship Awards. We awarded a deserving young Latina in our community with funds to use towards her college education.

19942875_10154604955761821_2230628514743057371_o

We also launched a laptop drive. With your donations we provided eight refurbished laptops to local middle school students in need.

Thank you to all the men who joined our ‪#‎WAM2015‬ team, Los Hombres de las Chicas Latinas de Sacramento… and thank you to our amazing Chicas Latinas volunteers!

This was the first year that Chicas Latinas de Sacramento hosted a walking team. We didn’t quite know what to expect, but were thrilled to discover that over 25 men registered for our team. Los Hombres delivered and we can’t wait to host a team next year – bigger and better! Chicas Latinas also hosted a volunteer team and tabled at the event.

Chicas Latinas’ team helped WEAVE, Inc. raise nearly $2,500 for sexual assault & domestic violence services for survivors in the ‪‎Sacramento community. Did we reach #‎1000MenStrong‬? With the help of Los Hombres de las Chicas Latinas de Sacramento, Weave Inc. broke a record for men walking in heals this year at Walk a Mile in Her Shoes.

chicas latinas, Chicas Latinas de Sacramento, Event, sacramento, Volunteer, Walk a Mile in Her Shoes., Weave Inc.

There is an old saying: “You can’t really understand another person’s experience until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.” Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® asks men to literally walk one mile in women’s high-heeled shoes. It’s not easy walking in these shoes, but it’s fun and it gets the community to talk about something that’s really difficult to talk about: gender relations and sexualized violence against women.

Walk a Mile

On Sunday, May 3 the men of Chicas Latinas de Sacramento will make a statement not just locally but to the world when we come together for the 5th Annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes.

This is the first year the Chicas will have a team representing us!! We can’t achieve this without YOU. Register today and recruit the men in your family, your work, your gym, your church. You get the idea, we are going to go big on May 3 and want you to be part of the record setting and lifesaving day.

  • Registration is $40 per man which includes: Shoes, T-Shirt, Swag Bag, and Festival Access
  • To register click on the link below and “Register for Walk a Mile”
    http://weaveinc.donorpages.com/WalkaMile2015/
  • Under team options choose “Join a Team” and select “Los Hombres de Las Chicas” 

~ A donor page will be created so you can share with family and friends. All donations will be added to the Teams fundraising goal ~

For more information Join the Event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/825541930867296/

AND Chicas!!!!

We will be out there supporting our men by Volunteering with Weave. In order to track our volunteers put “Chicas Latinas de Sacramento” in the “Additional Comments” box when registering.

For more details RSVP on the Chicas Latinas de Sacramento Meetup Page!!!
