The 5th Annual My Purple Path Walk & Fair

Founded in 2016, Purple House Project PA, Inc (PHPPA), a 501(c)(3) organization, works tirelessly to fulfill its mission to Strengthen, Empower, and Transition women impacted by Intimate Partner Violence via connection to essential resources that aid in the healing process.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month!  This years theme is, "My Purple Path wants you to be FREE!"  PHPPA is bringing  awareness around the high incarceration rate of women who have been victims of domestic violence. According to the ACLU, nearly 60% of people in women’s prisons nationwide, and as many as 94% of some women’s prison populations, have a history of physical or sexual abuse before being incarcerated. We will also be focusing on living a life FREE from ALL forms of abuse.

The walk will start at the Tioga-Hope-Park and Garden at 2000-08 West Tioga St., Philadelphia, PA 19140 to 20th & Hunting Park Ave, east on Hunting Park Ave to Hunting Park 1104 Hunting Park, Philadelphia, PA 19140. At the park we’ll have a vendor fair with local businesses and community resources , guest speakers, a self-Defense demonstration, food, and music. If you choose not to walk, meet us at the park!
