✨ A couple quick reminders before Friday! ✨

👗 Dress attire: Think dressy casual. Cute, comfortable, and ready for a fun night out. Your male companions can wear jeans/shorts, unless you don’t want them too and then your secret is safe with us!

🪑 Seating is first come, first serve unless you are one of our Hope Sponsors, who will have reserved seating.

And yes tickets will be available at the door for the same price.

We cannot wait to see everyone Friday!

Celebrate a year of impact with Saving Grace at An Evening of Hope. Enjoy dinner, music, auctions, and an inspiring evening in support of hope.

This is me on my lunch break taking meetings with universities drafting research proposals, pulling together last-minute details for Friday’s event, and sporting dark circles brought to you by a toddler who believes sleep is for the we

One year ago, Saving Grace was something I carried in my heart and filed away, hoping that maybe someday I could make it real. And now look at us.

Our community. Our supporters. My incredible team. And the special people working quietly in the background who make it possible for me to take meetings after work and show up to events on the weekends, you are all the reason this became real.

I could have used the anger inside me to burn everything down. It would have been easier then sitting in the pain. Instead, I use it to build something better and I always will. It is my fuel for this work and the reason I have been as ambitious as I am in our first year.

Better support systems. A stronger community. And a future where every survivor who feels as lost and unsupported as I did two years ago knows they are not alone.

I cannot wait to see you all Friday whether you arrive at 5:00 or roll in at 8:00. Just come ready for inspiration, hope, and a good time.

Forever thankful 💜

You may notice something new on our patrol cars this month. 💜

In recognition of Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, we’ve added su***de awareness ribbons to our patrol vehicles.

It’s a small addition, but an important reminder as our officers travel throughout the community each day: you matter, and help is available.

If you see one of our cruisers around town, we hope the ribbon reminds you to check in on the people around you. Sometimes a simple “How are you doing?” can mean more than you realize.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Help is available 24/7.

Board Member Spotlight | Rachael Rowe - Events & Strategic Planning

If you know Rachel, you know she’s a boss lady with the purest heart.

She’s the kind of person who gets things DONE—but somehow always does it with a smile on her face, a helping hand extended, and genuine care for the people around her.

Rachael has officially joined the Saving Grace Board in Events & Strategic Planning, and we are absolutely thrilled to have her energy, heart, ideas, and get-it-done attitude behind this mission.

We asked Rachael : “What drew you to Saving Grace, and what are you most excited about as you step into this new role?”

Please help us give Rach the warmest Saving Grace welcome. We are so lucky to have her. ✨
