May these beautiful souls be at peace💜

We remember Alice Brown, Kristen Brown, and Evie Brown, the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth confirmed victims of domestic violence homicide in Minnesota in 2026.

Alice Brown was “the kindest and most loving; a gardener who loved to walk.” Kristen Brown was “an amazing mother; an amazing businesswoman; funny and witty.” She opened Brown Bear Daycare after giving birth to Evie in 2018, and wrote often of her passion for caring for children. Evie was “a natural leader,” and she loved rainbows and sparkles. We remember Alice, Kristen, and Evie.

✨ YOU’RE INVITED — AN EVENING WITH PURPOSE. ✨

What if one beautiful evening could help create a little more healing for someone who has been through unimaginable pain?

On October 16th, join us for the Velvet & Valor Gala, where elegance meets compassion and a community comes together for something bigger than ourselves.

We’re raising funds to support women impacted by domestic and sexual abuse — and the advocates who stand beside them. Proceeds help provide access to holistic wellness services that foster healing, restoration, and renewal. 🤍

And here’s the beautiful part: you don’t have to attend to make an impact. You can sponsor an advocate’s ticket and help celebrate the incredible people doing the often unseen work of supporting survivors.

Come for the music.
Come for the celebration.
Come for the opportunity to make a difference.

Come be part of an evening where your presence, or your generosity, helps someone else move toward healing.

📅 October 16, 2026
📍 Interlachen Country Club | Edina, MN
🕖 7:00–11:00 PM

Velvet & Valor: An Evening of Purpose.
Because when we show up together, healing has a chance to bloom. 🌿
