A True Survivor Story: How SPARCC Supported a Journey from Tragedy to Transformation

The Giving Coast

Years ago, SPARCC provided refuge to a young boy, his brother, and their mother as they sought safety from domestic violence. Despite enduring the unimaginable tragedy of the murder-suicide of his parents, that boy, Robleh Kirce, is now a Managing Partner at NextArrow and committed to the well-being of survivors. At SPARCCle A Starry Night Soiree, SPARCC’s 45th Sapphire Anniversary Gala, the organization celebrated its remarkable milestone of serving the community for over four decades. This annual black tie event brought together community members, supporters, and advocates to honor SPARCC's life-saving work and raise crucial funds for its free and confidential programs and services for survivors and their children in our community.
