Columbia, South Carolina – Registration for the 2025 Mayor’s Walk Against Domestic Violence, which will take place on Saturday, October 25, 2025, is now available in the City of Columbia. The event will be held at Page Ellington Park, which is at 2220 Gregg Street. This is the 19th year that the community will join together to stand up against domestic violence.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and municipal leaders are once again asking people to demonstrate their support by taking part in the walk. Organizers stress that the event is not just about raising awareness; it is also about bringing the community together to make a public statement against violence that affects families all over the Midlands.
You may now sign up online for $5 per person. All the money raised from participants will go directly to Sistercare, a nonprofit that helps survivors of domestic violence and their children in the area by providing refuge, legal help, and trauma-informed programs. Sistercare has worked with the city for a long time to make sure that survivors may get the important assistance they need to rebuild their lives without abuse.
The city is also asking businesses and groups to think about becoming sponsors of this year’s walk, in addition to taking part. Sponsorships come with event tickets, recognition, and the chance to make a real difference in the lives of survivors while also getting people involved in the community.

The City of Columbia is doing a number of things to bring attention to domestic abuse concerns, and the Mayor’s Walk is one of them. The third annual Toiletry Drive, which runs from August 1 to October 31, 2025, is another event. All the products that are contributed will go to people and families in need. Another important event will be “Sistercare Saturday,” which will take place on September 13, 2025, in Boyd Plaza during the Soda City Market. This will provide citizens another chance to connect with and support the cause.
City leaders want people to know that these projects are meant to give residents many options to help, such as walking, giving money, or sponsoring. By taking part in these events, the community shows that it remains committed to ending domestic abuse and giving people hope.
