Hope Rising

Standing with Survivors

Oct. 4, 2023

2022 Hope Rising Event

As part of our efforts to recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Helpmate hosts a very special event each October.  These events serve to raise awareness around domestic violence and to provide needed resources to support this work.  We are grateful that hundreds of people participate and respond with enthusiasm.  Thank you for being a community that cares so deeply about the vulnerable among us.

Thank you to those who craft this meaningful event:  Lauren Karlsson, Chair, Pam Bailey, Beverly Brignolo, Joyce Greene,  and Ceil Sanow. 

While there is no cost to attend the event, we rely on Table Hosts to invite our guests.
