The Friends of A Woman’s Place is proud to host the their 17th Annual 2010 Celebrating Women Gala - Saturday, October 9, at 7 p.m. at the Union Colony Civic Center, 701 10th Ave., Greeley. Tickets are $25 general admission $10 students. This annual event occurs each October during National Domestic Violence Prevention Awareness Month. It is dedicated to the financial well-being of A Women’s Place (AWP).
A Woman’s Place (AWP) evolved from a grassroots effort that began in 1977 through the efforts of a coalition of caring volunteers and the city of Greeley. The SafeHouse was established in 1981 to provide a safe haven for battered women and their children. Since that time the staff has helped empower thousands of victim/survivors of domestic abuse to become safe and self-reliant.
Friends of A Woman’s Place started honoring outstanding women in Weld County in 1994 as a way to raise money for AWP. Thanks to the many sponsors and donors over the years Friends has donated more than $580,000 in support of the vital programs offered to help get shattered lives back on track. All proceeds from the Gala go to A Woman’s Place.
