Batesville, IN — The 10th annual Safe Passage major fundraiser, We Help. We Heal. We Hope, is sold out.
It will be held at Walhill Farms in Batesville on Saturday, December 3, where the 320 guests will gather to support the life-saving mission of Safe Passage with a brunch, inspirational programming, raffle, and silent auction.
A highlight of the annual event is the beautifully and uniquely decorated tables by various businesses and organizations.
This event will celebrate 25 years of providing free, comprehensive, and confidential support to survivors and their children in the six-county district.
For those not attending the benefit, but who would like to support the organization, there is an online auction featuring 62 items and a donation opportunity with no cost to register.
Go to the website at www.safepassageinc.org and click on the flyer or go to https://bidpal.net/wehelpwehealwehope.
There are many experiences to bid on, including shopping and spa parties, trips, home and holiday décor, sports, and gift certificate packages.
You do not have to be present to win an online item; arrangements can be made for pickup or delivery.
The online auction closes at 10:30 am Saturday.
“We are so inspired by the willingness of the guests, and the communities in general who support our work. Safe Passage leaders and the board are grateful to our wonderful sponsors, a record number this year. Not one business turned us down for an auction item; we have over 100 auction donors. Our table hosts help fill the venue, and the 39 table decorators make the event barn a visual delight,” said Mary Mattingly, Community Outreach Director.
Mattingly added many recognize that our rural area is not immune to domestic and sexual violence.
Last year Safe Passage served 1,300 individuals through the toll-free number, shelter, or nonresidential programming.
This fundraiser support allows Safe Passage to continue on the founders’ vision of providing help, healing, and hope to domestic and sexual violence survivors.
