On October 3rd, we came together as a community for our 2024 Circle event, “Breaking Barriers with Confidence, Comforts, and Care.” Local survivors bravely told their stories and reflected on their past, letting others know it is possible to overcome barriers to experience a better day. Alongside the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence, we had experts address the top barriers preventing someone from escaping domestic violence. A staff member from YWCA shared the services that we offer to equip and empower individuals in a domestic violence situation to break barriers. Additionally, those who no longer wished to be bystanders were provided with ways in which they can provide support to those who deserve a more beautiful day!
With your tremendous generosity, we raised over $175,000 for our domestic violence services!
We would like to extend our gratitude to our Guest Speakers, Corporate Sponsors, Sustaining Circle Members, Table Hosts, and volunteers. We rely on each other to create this important event and we are beyond grateful to have so many supporters and helping hands. Thank you!
We would like to once more thank our passionate panel members. Because of you, we were able to raise awareness and understanding of domestic violence and resources available to survivors.
