Take Back the Night

Join the race with MHCC to eradicate sexual violence in the community, with a special event on Thursday.

Sexual violence affects everyone, including those in the MHCC community. “Take Back the Night,” an organization whose vision is to provide programs and resources to financially challenged areas across the country, will host a 5K run and walk event on the MHCC running track from 7:15 to 9 p.m Thursday to raise awareness.

According to takebackthenight.org, “one in three women and one in six men worldwide experience some form of sexual violence” in their lifetime, with less than half of victims reporting any abuse.

Open to all at Mt. Hood and to the general public, the event will feature music, poetry and more while sharing support for sexual violence survivors.
