Kristin Mitchell was a victim of dating violence. She was murdered by her boyfriend in her apartment in Conshohocken, on June 3, 2005, only weeks after graduating from Saint Joseph's University. Two of her friends decided to channel their grief in a positive way and create an event that would keep Kristin's memory alive, and celebrate her 21 years of life. Inspired by a eulogy given by a Saint Joseph's priest at Kristin's memorial mass, the event became known as "Kristin's Krusade." It's a 5K run/walk that has been held annually on the campus of St. Joseph's University since September 2006.
The aim of Kristin's Krusade is to bring dating violence awareness to the place Kristin had once called "home" for four years, as well as to the surrounding neighborhoods.
After the inaugural event, we recognized the prevalence of dating violence, and formed The Kristin Mitchell Foundation. Our mission is to support educational efforts that raise awareness among college students about the potential dangers of unhealthy dating relationships.
