Annual Fundraising Events
The Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center hosts many events throughout the year to raise awareness about domestic violence, reach survivors who may need support, and raise funds. We strive to create opportunities to bring survivors and supporters together through a combination of small, informal information sessions and large, organized events. Check back to this page to see what’s coming up across the organization.

Here are the annual fundraising events you can expect each year:
Every year on the first Sunday in October, we gather at Newburyport’s Waterfront Park to walk a scenic 3-mile route in honor of victims and survivors of domestic violence, and to raise needed funds for our programs. We are proud to say that we have now hosted this community event for 35 years!
In March 2026, we held our 14th annual White Ribbon event, Pledge for Change, and raised funds to support youth violence prevention programs. That night, we collectively pledged to work towards ending gender-based violence.
Thank you for all the support you showed young people in our communities, and for helping us reach our fundraising goal.
Community events
We are fortunate to have dedicated and generous community members who host fundraising events on our behalf. Check back on this page throughout the year to see when these are coming up – here are a few that have become annual events:
- Tomato Festival – This beloved annual event held by Heron Pond Farm each August recently became a charitable event, benefitting Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center, Love Bus, and Our Neighbor’s Table.
- Renee Corcoran Pickleball Tournament – This fun-filled pickleball tournament is held each year in memory of Renee Corcoran. 100% of the event’s proceeds are generously donated to Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center.
