TOGETHER! ENGAGING WOMEN EMPOWERING GIRLS

Photos and story by Christina Kling-Garrett

Safe Connections hosted its 15th annual TOGETHER! fundraising event in early April at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis in Clayton. Guests mingled and bid on silent auction items before gathering in the dining room for brunch and the program. Safe Connections began more than 40 years ago as a grassroots crisis hotline for domestic violence survivors and has grown into one of the metro area’s largest organizations working to end domestic and sexual violence and to help survivors thrive.

This fundraiser secured more than $100,000 to further the Safe Connections mission of preventing and ending domestic and sexual violence. We are elated that the community supported this event by coming out after going virtual for two years.
