PHILADELPHIA - Over 100 male Temple student-athletes tried their hand at walking in heels, particpating in the "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" event on campus. Every year, college students around the country participate in the walk to raise awareness for sexual and gender violence. Members of the Temple football, men's cross country, men's basketball, and men's soccer team participated, along with over 150 other Temple students at the annual event.
In addition to the support of the male student-athletes who participated in the walk, members of the Temple lacrosse, field hockey, volleyball, rowing, gymnastics, fencing, and Diamond Gems also volunteered at the event.
Walk a Mile in Her Shoes was created in 2001 by Frank Baird to give "men the opportunity to publicly demonstrate their courage and commitment to preventing sexualized violence," as stated on the organization's website.
