Join Us at Blue Ties and Butterflies

The Giving Coast

Join us in bringing transformational healing to victims of child abuse at our upcoming gala, Blue Ties & Butterflies! All proceeds go directly to our mission - the prevention, intervention, and treatment of child abuse. The evening will begin with a beautiful cocktail reception followed by a delicious dinner, splendid live and silent auctions, a chance drawing for a ROLEX (details coming soon!), and an empowering mission moment with former elite gymnast Emily Meinke, who highlights the momentous power we each have in prevention and will share her journey from victim to survivor after testifying against U.S. Olympic doctor Larry Nassar. The night will conclude in a joyous celebration of hope, music, and dancing as we commemorate all that our community makes possible in protecting vulnerable children. We encourage guests to dress in cocktail or formal attire.
