Advocating Against Domestic Violence

When Mariners fan, Mike Clark heard about a 5k fundraiser that winds through each level at T-Mobiile Park and ends with a lap on the ball field, he signed up.  The fundraiser was for the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV).  Ten years later, he’s still  a staunch advocate against domestic violence.

The Refuse to Abuse 5K is Saturday, July 17th starting 8:30 am.
