POCATELLO - After the fifth annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event at Idaho State University on October 1, 2008, the Project Hope Advocacy Program is now offering a 2009 calendar to help raise additional money for victims of domestic violence, and to fund prevention and awareness activities throughout the Southeastern Idaho community.

The calendar features men who have participated in the event in previous years. All the men featured will be wearing high heel shoes. The group uses high heel shoes to show that domestic violence and sexual assault are not just women's issues. They also believe that inviting men to become allies in ending the violence sends a powerful message. In asking men to publicly stand up and show their commitment to ending violence, their actions will encourage other men to start thinking about how they personally can do their part to end violence.

The calendar costs $12 plus tax and can be ordered through their Web site at www.isuwalkamile.com.
