(COLDWATER) - A longtime community fundraiser returns to downtown Coldwater this weekend.
The 16th annual "Walk A Mile in Their Shoes" event is scheduled for Saturday, organized by the Branch County Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence.
The event raises money for the Naomi Davis Shelterhouse and supports services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
Activities begin with a pancake breakfast, followed by the main event at 10:15 a.m. on Monroe Street.
Participants are encouraged to take part in a round-the-block walk, with men traditionally wearing high heels to raise awareness.
Organizers say the goal is to exceed last year's $68,000 raised, as funding needs continue amid concerns about potential federal budget cuts.
