Pensacola State College will host the fifth annual Domestic Violence Awareness & Remembrance Walk in memory of Carla E. Williams at 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, at the track on its Pensacola campus.
Williams, a PSC associate professor, died in May 2021 as a result of domestic violence. A former PSC Lady Pirate basketball player, she spent more than 24 years working in PSC athletics, Collegiate High and the Mathematics and Computer Science Department.
“Domestic violence is an ongoing issue in our society and in 2021, it really hit home for the PSC family with the loss of Coach Carla Williams,” said Lynsey Listau, dean of students at Pensacola State College.
“To honor Carla and other victims of domestic violence, we’ve scheduled the fifth annual walk to raise awareness of the issue and provide information on the resources available to help victims.”
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Launched nationwide by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence in 1987, the observance connects individuals and organizations working to address domestic violence and raises awareness of the issue.
The participation fee is $10 for nonstudents. PSC students can participate for free. T-shirts will be available for $20 at the walk while supplies last. Proceeds from the walk will benefit the Carla Williams Memorial Scholarship Fund.
