Kansas and Missouri: Coming together to run off domestic violence

All proceeds from the Rivalry Run benefit the Domestic Violence Protection Services Agency which works to protect domestic violence abuse victims in the Kansas City community.

Domestic Violence Protection Services Agency was founded with the idea that women need more than a Protection Order to ensure their physical safety.

Statistics indicate that about 75% of the calls to law enforcement for intervention and assistance in domestic violence occur after separation from batterers. One study revealed that half of the homicides of female spouses and partners were committed by men after separation from batterers. DVPSA exists to provide physical protection to these battered women transitioning out of abusive environments so that they may leave the situation with peace of mind and a sense of security.

Your generosity and participation in The Rivalry Run will allow DVPSA to fund its protective services initiative, providing physical protection to women whose lives are in danger.
