Annual 5K Butterfly Run!

Welcome to Our Annual 5K Butterfly Run!

Whether you’re here because you know and love Her Well Center, or you simply came out to enjoy a beautiful morning while supporting a meaningful cause, we are truly grateful you’re here.

Check-in opens at 6:45 a.m., and the race will begin promptly at 7:30 a.m.

Who We Are

• Mission: For those who may not be familiar with us, Her Well Center is a faith-based crisis center serving survivors of sexual trauma and intimate partner violence, as well as their families.
• Support: We walk alongside ALL survivors as they reclaim their hope, regain their voice, and resist isolation.
• Commitment: Our mission is simple yet powerful: No survivor walks alone.
• Impact: In just three years, Her Well has had the honor of walking alongside more than 100 survivors in their healing journeys.

Why the Butterfly Run?

• Transformation: We call this event the Butterfly Run because healing is a process, a transformation.
• Caterpillar Stage: Survivors begin rebuilding and growing, supported by case managers who check in twice each month.
• Chrysalis Stage: Deep internal healing takes place through specialized trauma therapies, including EMDR, ART, Neurofeedback, and Equine EMDR.
• Butterfly Stage: After 12 months of courageous work, survivors graduate by releasing their butterfly — symbolizing freedom, hope, and life after trauma.

Butterfly Release

• Symbolism: Each butterfly represents hope, healing, and freedom.
• Participation: If you would like to participate in this special moment, butterflies are available this morning for $15.
• Release Time: Please join us at 7:20 a.m. for the release.
• Honoring Survivors: It is a beautiful way to honor a survivor, remember a loved one, or celebrate the power of transformation.
