HAVEN hosting gala in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month

HAVEN of Oakland County invites the community to support survivors and help raise awareness at its annual Gala on April 19 at The Royal Park Hotel. This impactful event is being held during Sexual Assault Awareness Month to raise awareness and support for HAVEN’s vital mission.

HAVEN, Oakland County’s only nonprofit organization dedicated to offering comprehensive services for survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault, is at the forefront of the fight against these pervasive issues. The organization serves individuals and families who face the daunting task of leaving everything behind to escape abusive situations, guiding them toward safety, strength, and a new beginning.

The Annual Gala, HAVEN’s most significant fundraising event of the year, will feature powerful stories of hope and resilience from survivors, live music, a silent, and a gourmet seated dinner. It's an opportunity to celebrate the courage of survivors and to stand with them in their journey towards healing and empowerment.

Funds raised during the gala are crucial for continuing and expanding HAVEN’s essential services. Many survivors leave their abusers with nothing but the clothes on their backs. HAVEN provides these individuals with the support, resources, and tools they need to rebuild their lives. Every dollar raised at the event directly contributes to empowering survivors and their families.

The event begins with a cocktail hour at 6pm on April 19. Silent auction, entertainment, and inspirational speakers will be featured. Tickets for the gala are $250 per person, which includes reserved seating. To support the involvement of younger community members, HAVEN offers a discounted $150 Young Professional ticket for those 35 and under. For those looking to make a more significant impact, VIP Tables are available for $3,000, featuring program and digital recognition and reserved seating for 10 guests. Additional sponsorship opportunities are also available.

Join us on April 19 to stand with survivors, celebrate their resilience, and contribute to a world free from intimate partner violence and sexual assault. Your support makes a difference. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit haven-oakland.org.
