We’re still reflecting on what an incredible night this year’s New Beginnings Gala turned out to be. 💜

From the excitement of our silent and live auction items to the fun of the Heads or Tails game, door prizes, the grid, and the 50/50 raffle, every moment of the evening brought our community together in such a meaningful way. Fund A Need was especially powerful, reminding us all why this work matters so deeply.

Because of your generosity and enthusiasm, we’re proud to share that we raised a record-breaking $124,708!

Every dollar raised helps ensure survivors in our community have access to safety, support, and essential services when they need it most.

Thank you for being part of such a memorable and impactful evening. We are so grateful for your continued support. 💜
