STATESBORO, Ga. –  Want to witness Georgia Southern's own Athletic Director Tom Kleinlein and Associate Athletic Director Tracy Ham strap on a pair of heels for a good cause?

Georgia Southern is hosting its fourth annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event, a men's march to stop gender violence, rape and sexual assault against women, at the Russell Union Rotunda on Thursday, March 31 at 5 p.m. This event is a playful way to raise awareness and encourage communication about gender and sexual violence by inviting men around the community to walk a mile in red high-heeled shoes to draw attention to the issue.

Kleinlein and Ham have challenged the GS community to raise $2,500 by March 30 to support the cause. If this goal is reached, Kleinlein and Ham will participate by "walking a mile in her shoes," literally. Both administrators participated in last year's event, but have upped the ante this year to encourage more donations to Walk a Mile in Her Shoes on behalf on the Athletic Department.  

All proceeds from the event will benefit the Statesboro Regional Sexual Assault Center. More information can be found on the University Wellness page of GeorgiaSouthern.edu.

To donate toward the cause on behalf of the Athletic Department, go to THIS PAGE.
