Did you know - the cost of one table at our Annual Fundraising Luncheon supports a High School Courage Club for a full year?

This year's fundraising luncheon will feature April Simpkins, mother of former Miss USA Cheslie Kryst. She will share her powerful message on recognizing the warning signs that contribute to lifelong emotional, behavioral, and physical health challenges caused by interpersonal violence.

We are also recognizing Chief Johnny Jennings, Dr. Jessica Salzman, and Ron and Jan Kimble for their advocacy on prevention.


Why Your Support Matters

Interpersonal violence takes many forms--cyberbullying, stalking, dating violence, domestic abuse, and emotional and psychological harm. It affects mental health, disrupts futures, and too often, leaves lasting trauma. But violence is not inevitable--prevention is possible.

With your participation, our Foundation can Educate, Empower, and Encourage teens and young adults to recognize early warning signs and prevent violence before it begins. This year's theme, "Shining A Light On Prevention," is symbolized by yellow, representing hope and optimism--values that drive our mission to foster healthy relationships and positive communication among young adults.

When we educate our youth on healthy relationships, empower survivors to reclaim their strength, and encourage safe communities, we shine a light on a future free from harm. Prevention means early intervention, open conversations, and ensuring that resources are available before violence ever begins.
But prevention needs support. It needs you.

Registration Options

  • Regular tickets are $150 each.
