An organization that provides support for local domestic violence and sexual assault survivors is sponsoring an event this week in memory of a Butler woman.
The annual ‘Get Nebby 5K and Fun Run’ will be a week-long virtual awareness event with participation through the event page of the Facebook account of Victim Outreach Intervention Center.
The event is held in memory of Butler native Melissa Barto, who was shot and killed by her boyfriend in 2017.
VOICE is also joining the National Network to End Domestic Violence this week to share social media content about the pervasiveness of domestic violence using the hashtag Every1KnowsSome1.
