Inside Ashley River Park, lives were honored, survivors were celebrated, and a powerful message of hope, courage, and unity was shared: 𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.
On Saturday, October 31, 2026, the Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office proudly hosted its first-ever Walk Against Domestic Violence, bringing our community together to remember those whose lives have been impacted, stand alongside survivors, and raise awareness about a cause that touches far too many families.
Every step taken represented a commitment to something greater than ourselves — a commitment to speak up, offer support, break the silence, and ensure that no one has to face domestic violence alone.
We are incredibly grateful to the organizations and community partners who joined us and helped make this inaugural event a success.
A special thank you goes to the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office Community Engagement Division for their outstanding partnership, support, and dedication to this important mission. It is through collaboration and a shared commitment that we can make a lasting difference.
To the survivors who found the courage to share their stories, the families who continue to honor loved ones, and everyone who joined us: 𝐖𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐖𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐖𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮.
Ending domestic violence takes all of us. It starts with awareness, grows through compassion, and becomes reality when communities stand together.
