The ARK Domestic Violence Shelter (The ARK) provides a safe place and resources for victims of domestic violence and/or sexual assault and their families from three counties; Brown, Coleman and Comanche. This will be The ARKs second year to hold a 5K run in Comanche. “By reaching out into the counties that we serve, it allows the communities to have more ownership in The ARK.” Executive Director Terri Densman said. “You not only learn more about The ARK, you become more aware that you are part of the solution to the problem of domestic violence in our area.”
“We encourage you to come out and run, or walk the distance and just enjoy the day as a healthy way for the entire family to support the efforts of The ARK,” Densman added. If you’d like to just make a donation to The ARK, or you’d like to volunteer to help work at the event, you can call the administration office at 325-643-2699.
