Signs of Domestic Violence
Step into the Light Gala
Thank you for joining us at our 6th Annual Step into the Light Gala and making it such a special evening!
With over 400 guests in attendance, this year marked our largest and most impactful event yet – raising more than $240,000 in support of our mission.
Guests enjoyed live music from the nationally renowned BJ Griffin Band, silent and live auctions, and powerful stories of resilience that highlighted the transformative impact of how support, care, and advocacy help survivors of violence reclaim their strength and step forward with renewed confidence.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and gave so generously to support critical programs and services.
