$8000 was raised during walk a mile in her shoes.
YWCA Thompson President Angel Anderson says the money will go towards the women’s centre.
The Y also had prizes for the top fundraisers but they all donated the prize back to the centre, allowing them to use it for a future event.
Anderson shared some local statistics at the event:
"In 2011, 21% of female students at RD Parker reported they were victims of violence or sexual assault; also in 2011 there were 800 incidents of domestic violence against women in Thompson".
This was the 6th annual walk a mile in her shoes.
