Taking place at the enchanting Parker Jazz Club ballroom, the evening will be dedicated to celebrating community leaders who tirelessly advocate for victims of abuse. We will listen to beautiful music performed by survivors themselves, including the renowned World renowned Lucinda Williams, our founder, vocalists Courtney Santana, and Austin favorites, Parker Woodland and Jennifer Foster and the Audacity.  From the VIP reception to the concert to the delicious food and craft cocktails, this event will be the event of the year!

That evening, we all will be together in this beautiful space for a worthy cause. At the same time, under the same sky and just outside the door of the Parker…courageous individuals who, despite the challenges, leave their abusive homes to face a terrifying world of uncertainty.  Just on the other side of that door, victims of domestic violence are running in the middle of the night, this very night, to ensure the well-being of themselves and their children.  Our hope is to raise awareness about their displacement and the courageous steps they take…just outside that door. 

Nearly 780 families will experience displacement and become unhoused and displaced because of their brave decision to leave a violent home.  They may become chronically unhoused if immediate plans for housing are not put into place.  We aim to raise $250,000 to fund our House A Million Fund to support these brave souls through emergency grants to cover their moving expenses, food, and life essentials while they stabilize in our hotel safety net powered by our new web platform Sanctuary.
