In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month this April, CFPA is hosting its 9th Annual 5K Run/1 Mile Walk, I Run with Survivors, on Saturday, 4/11, 2026 at 8 am in the Levee District in East Peoria. All the proceeds from registration go toward providing free and confidential services for survivors of sexual assault at CFPA.
CFPA wants all survivors – ones who have come forward to disclose and ones who keep their abuse private – to know that the community supports them, the Center for Prevention of Abuse supports them, and that they are believed.
