🍁 What an unforgettable evening at our 3rd Annual Leaves of Change! 🍂

This past Saturday, our community came together for a beautiful night in support of survivors of domestic violence. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, this year’s event exceeded our fundraising expectations! We were also honored to celebrate Lois Herman’s birthday, with proceeds benefiting the Hal Herman Children’s Fund in her honor. 💜

A special thank you to our Board Chair and Presenting Sponsor, Angela Kelsey, for graciously hosting this wonderful evening, and to everyone who made it possible.

Together, we are working towards building a future free from domestic violence.

Today, we recognize Women’s Equality Day and the generations of women who fought for the rights we have today, while recognizing that the work toward true equality continues.

Equality also means having the freedom to live without violence, abuse, or control. Every woman deserves the power to make her own choices, determine her own future, and live safely. Today, we celebrate how far women have come and recommit to the work still ahead. 💗
