From the shimmering gowns to the inspiring success stories, our annual Step Into the Light gala was nothing short of magical. Every survivor deserves to write a new story – one of strength, safety, and hope. Your support helped us empower these individuals and raise critical funds for those in need of help.

To our dazzling guests, thank you for bringing the glitz, glam and generosity.

To our star-studded sponsors – Rivers Casino Portsmouth, ABNB Federal Credit Union, Langley for Families, TowneBank, and The GBS Group – thank you for helping us light up the evening and supporting our mission.

Stay tuned - we cannot wait to share more pictures and funds raised with you!
