SAN JOSE, Calif. - Californer -- Whether they're wearing stilettos, platforms, or construction boots decorated with flowers, some 150 members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 332 will strut in heels and flats along Santana Row on June 23, part of the YWCA's 2022 Walk a Mile in Their Shoes Event.
The event raises awareness and funds to empower and support survivors of domestic violence. Hundreds of participants are expected to attend the walk, which is being held from 5:30-7pm.
The event is "live" for the first time since 2019. Because of Covid-19, the event has been "virtual" for the past two years, with participants walking from their homes, in a park, or at lunch.
At 150 strong, IBEW Local 332 is expected to field the second largest team in the event.
The membership of IBEW Local 332 has donated a total of $10,610 for the walk. This includes purchasing a silver sponsorship for $5,000 and buying over one hundred registrations.
IBEW Local 332's participation in the event is being coordinated by Lilliana Martinez, a fourth year inside apprentice, and Javier Casillas, President of the Local. Lilliana and Javier are co-captains for the IBEW team.
