This event is intended to bring the community together to shine a light on intimate partner violence as a community health issue as well as educate participants on how awareness and advocacy can create true change for the 1,800+ survivors DVS serves annually through emergency shelter, transitional housing, 24/7 hotline and text line, counseling, legal advocacy and representation, and children’s programming.

Proceeds from each ticket directly benefit victims and survivors right here in Lancaster County on their path to recovery and thriving.
