The Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ICADV) is proud to host the 7th Annual Race Away From Domestic Violence - to raise awareness and money to help us end domestic violence in Indiana. It happens. Every nine seconds. Someone is a victim of domestic violence. Sometimes it happens to a family member; other times, it happens to those we least suspect. Regardless, it's up to all of us to end the abuse and violence. You can help -- it's easy and fun! Come out and join us rain or shine!
