The event on Thursday, Nov. 12, will begin at 7 p.m., and will be an evening of fellowship, as well as feature stories from survivors and opportunities to give. All proceeds raised from the event stay local to support the programs of Safe Connections.

Founded more than 40 years ago, Safe Connections works to reduce the impact and incidence of relationship violence and sexual assault through education, crisis intervention, counseling and support services. Its award-winning, nationally accredited programs include youth education, 24-hour crisis care and therapy for adult, as well as teen, survivors.

Last year’s in-person event drew 270 guests and raised more than $120,000 for Safe Connections.
