Centerboard invites you to EmpowHER Night, a cocktail hour designed to Connect, Educate and Empower.
Dedicated to raising awareness and support for We Rise—a transformative program that provides critical resources, support, and safe pathways for young women and men who have experienced or are at risk of sexual exploitation and trafficking.
Set against the backdrop of Palette Function Room, this impactful evening will feature handcrafted cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, live music, a silent auction, and powerful stories of resilience and hope. Guests will have the opportunity to connect with advocates, survivors, and community leaders who are shaping a future free from exploitation.
Attire: Casual Cocktail
Due to devastating federal funding cuts, our program is facing a loss of nearly $300,000, a loss that directly impacts hundreds of young women across Essex County who rely on our life-changing services and support. All proceeds will directly support trauma-informed care, education, housing, and mentorship services for the young people we serve. Your presence helps us turn compassion into action—and raise the volume on voices that too often go unheard.
“Together, we can change the narrative.”
RSVP today and stand with us in solidarity and strength
