DOVE Center will hold its annual fundraiser gala on March 18, 2017, at the SunRiver Ballroom. The gala is intended to raise money to ensure the continuation of critical services to survivors free of charge.
Called “Speak Up For Change: Ending Sexual and Domestic Violence One Voice at a Time,” the event will feature Desirae and Deondra Brown from The 5 Browns. The sisters have performed over 500 concerts across the United States and around the world as soloists, duo pianists, and members of The 5 Browns. As survivors of sexual abuse, they have also formed The Foundation for Survivors of Abuse, a nonprofit organization to help create a face for victims of abuse.
“Desirae and Deondra are both wonderful examples of how their combined voices have created change and have helped fight against sexual assault and domestic abuse. Their message of hope, courage, and strength is an inspiration to us all,” said Lindsey Boyer, executive director of DOVE Center.
The event will begin with a social hour and silent auction followed by a catered sit-down dinner, after which the Brown sisters will speak and perform. Tickets for DOVE Center’s annual gala are now on sale for $100 each and can be purchased at dovecenter.org.
