Overview
Dress up and step out for a night of empowerment and solidarity at the annual STAND ASA Believe Gala, presented in partnership with A Woman a Day YYC. On March 2nd, join us at the Deerfoot Inn & Casino for an evening that transcends boundaries, as we declare our unwavering support for survivors and echo the resounding message: We BELIEVE them, and we STAND with them.
Building on the success of last year's event, this gala promises an inspiring night filled with compassion and purpose. The night will include not only a delectable dinner but also engaging games and an enticing silent auction. The atmosphere will be further elevated with live music from the Morning Girls.
The numbers tell a compelling story - 2 in 3 women in Alberta will experience sexual violence in their lifetime. This isn't just a statistic; it's a stark reality that underscores the urgency of our mission. Sexual violence knows no age limit, affecting 1 in 2 girls before the age of 18. It's an issue impacting individuals across all walks of life.
Your attendance at this gala is not just a night out; it's a tangible act of support. All proceeds from this event will directly benefit STAND ASA. Your contribution makes a difference, helping us provide essential resources and support to those who need it most.
March 2nd marks a date of significance - a night to stand together, to believe survivors, and to make a collective impact. Join us at the STAND ASA BELIEVE: Benefit Gala, where your presence becomes a symbol of solidarity and a beacon of hope for those who have experienced the trauma of sexual assault. Together, let's create a future where survivors are not just believed but uplifted and supported on their journey towards healing.
