Congratulations to the Event Safety Alliance on 15 years of impact and advocacy. 👏⬇️
Since 2012, ESA has trained and advocated for safer events, helping audiences, crews and performers understand the risks they face and how to prevent them.
Fifteen years ago, a stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair claimed seven lives and injured dozens more. Out of that tragedy, the Event Safety Alliance was founded on a commitment to safer events through education, resources, and advocacy.
Pink Bows Foundation is proud to stand alongside ESA in that mission. Crowd safety is never the product of a single policy or a single training. It is built through sustained partnership and organizations willing to keep asking hard questions about how events can protect the people who attend them.
Here’s to the next 15 years of making events safer for all.
