The Domestic Violence Unit ("DVU") is a grant funded unit for the Cameron County
District Attorney's Office. The purpose of this unit is to advocate and
prosecute crimes on behalf of victims of abuse.
This year will be the 6th Annual Victory Over Violence 5K Run!Walk to
raise proceeds to help our local Cameron County domestic violence shelters, "The
Family Crisis Center" and "The Friendship of Women."
On April 21, 2012, the Domestic Violence Unit, on behalf of the Cameron
County District Attorney's Office, will kick of this great event at 8 a.m. at
Louie's Backyard. The Victory Over Violence 5K Run/Walk is a 3.1 mile march
to stomp out violence in support of the plight of these victims. Supporters are in
vited to bring bikes, pets, or baby strollers and join us on the route.
We understand that there are many demands on you resources, but we
hope that you will, as we have, see the importance of this cause. We hope to build
on last years foundation to continue to make this an annually anticipated event.
Thank you in advance for your generous support and we hope to see you there!
