Help them continue to change lives—attend the Gifts of Hope Gala Dinner: Marking Milestones and Igniting Change, with special guest Globe & Mail journalist Jana Pruden. The ‘80’s-themed evening (wear your best ‘80s attire) promises to be fun and inspiring with great food, guest speakers, an engaging presentation by the ACWS staff and a raffle and silent auction. The gala provides crucial support for ACWS programs and services—training and advocacy, increased access and support for survivors of gender-based violence and violence prevention programs. Early bird tix on sale until January 26.
