April 20, 2002—On this spring Saturday, Annie's Team assembled in Austin's Waterloo Park for the 15th Annual Walk for Safe Families and Safe Streets.

Our spirits were high, and our hopes equally so—hopes that Annie's Team would exceed our previous records and once again make a respectable showing for SafePlace. Well, "respectable" doesn't begin to cover it. This year's team raised $14,000 for SafePlace, doubling last year's take and once again capturing the title for first-place community team. We were 100 strong—the largest team in the Walk, and mighty stylin' in our bright jade shirts.

As always, Walk Day was a remarkable experience. Everyone was touched by the fellowship and community of this event, an assembly of some 6,000 people from all walks of life, coming together with a common goal—to put an end to domestic violence. 

Come take the Walk with us. Browse through our Walk photos using the Next button on each page, or view the entire collection in the Gallery.

Note to our visitors: We'd like your help to make this photo collection more complete. Annie's Team has grown so large that our memories just can't keep up with everyone's name. If you see someone you know in these photos, please send us an email with that person's name. Invite your friends to take the virtual Walk, and pass the word. This year's new team members, and anyone who wants to join, can sign up right here.

Hearty thanks to team members Debra and Gus for their photo contributions in this section. We welcome any other photos too; just send us an email and we'll work out the details.
