ABOUT THIS EVENT

The Orange Rose Foundation, in collaboration with Mayor DeMaria and the City of Everett, is conducting the 6th annual Walk For Ersilia in honor of our beautiful mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend Ersilia Cataldo. We aim to raise awareness and provide help to the problem of domestic violence and the resulting devastating consequences, especially for women and families. All proceeds from the walk will go directly to the Orange Rose Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity. This fund will support victims' advocacy programs that provide comprehensive services to people in our community whose lives have been directly impacted by domestic violence. One such program is the award-winning non-profit Portal To Hope.

We are honored to have Assistant DA Carrie Spiros give remarks.
