SafeSpace’s Inaugural Amethyst Charity Ball
Stuart, FL– The Amethyst Charity Ball will be SafeSpace’s signature event, aiming to bring awareness and raise life-saving funds for adult victims of domestic violence and children.
Lead: Join Super Bowl XXV MVP Ottis Anderson and supporters of SafeSpace, Inc. in making the inaugural Amethyst Charity Ball a success for the only state certified and single-source provider of domestic violence programs serving the Treasure Coast.
Body: SafeSpace provides services to adult victims of domestic violence and their children in need, in becoming survivors and in transitioning to a life free from violence -- a safe life that they aspire to and deserve. This will be the first Gala fundraising event since the agency celebrated their 40th anniversary on October of 2019, where the community helped raise over $91,000 of much needed funds to support the programs. This year, SafeSpace aims to raise $150,000. “The reality is that the incidence of intimate partner violence continues to rise, and our ability to serve hundreds of victims and their children every year significantly depends on the support received from sources within our tri-county communities. We are fortunate to count with the leadership and generous support of Ernesto and Emmelis Keaney who are spearheading this charity ball, earmarked at becoming SafeSpace’s annual signature event on the Treasure Coast” said Dr. Teresa Albizu, CEO of SafeSpace. Much more than an emergency shelter, SafeSpace provides a wide range of services for victims residing inside and outside of our safe refuge, including safety planning, risk assessments, legal assistance, financial literacy training, mental health counseling, youth violence prevention education and referrals to community-based resources – all free of charge. SafeSpace will be honoring New York Giants Ring of Honor Inductee Ottis Anderson in a night filled with silent auctions, dinner, and dancing. SafeSpace needs the support and involvement of the community to continue saving and changing the lives of adult victims of domestic violence and survivors.
