The 2024 Hope and Healing Gala commemorates 50 years of the Rape Recovery Center's vital service. Held annually during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, it honors individuals, agencies, and organizations in our state dedicated to ending sexual violence. The event includes the Pillar of Hope award ceremony, recognizing outstanding contributions to sexual violence treatment, awareness, or prevention. We're collaborating with local artists this year to showcase visual narratives depicting our decades-long journey. The event will be held on Friday, April 12, starting at 5:30 at the Regent Street Black Box Theater at Eccles Theater.
