Grand County Advocates For A Violence-Free Community

06/17/2026

What an unforgettable evening. 💜

Because of your generosity and support, the 23rd Annual Taste of Spring was the most successful event in Grand County Advocates’ history — raising over $80,000 in support of survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and our agency's work here in Grand County.

From everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, sponsored, or supported from home — thank you. This community showed up in a powerful way, and we are deeply grateful.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for everyone who made this night possible— from the venue to our incredible band, food donors, sponsors, volunteers, board members, and every person who showed up in support. This success truly belongs to all of you. 💜

🍂 What is gaslighting? Gaslighting is when your emotions, words, and experiences are twisted and used against you, causing you to question your reality and sanity. This can be a very effective form of emotional abuse and control.
