Why this afternoon matters

Every seat helps create a pathway toward safety, dignity, and hope.

Women Make The Difference is more than a beautiful luncheon. It is a gathering of women who believe their influence can help restore the lives of girls and young women who have endured trafficking and exploitation.

During the program, guests will be invited to give toward specific areas of healing and recovery for residents of Where Hope Lives.

Women helping women heal.

Your presence helps fill the room with compassion, generosity, advocacy, and practical support for survivors rebuilding their lives.

Safety

Helping provide safe housing, security, and a protected place for survivors to begin healing.

Medical Care

Supporting the practical care needed when young women arrive carrying deep physical and emotional trauma.

Therapy

Helping fund trauma-informed counseling and recovery support for girls and young women.

Education

Helping survivors continue learning, rebuild confidence, and prepare for a future filled with possibility.

Benefiting Where Hope Lives

A trusted place of healing for children, teens, and young women.

Where Hope Lives is a nationally recognized, Christ-centered recovery program serving children, teens, young women, and families impacted by human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

Comprehensive Care

Survivors receive support that can include safe housing, medical care, therapy, education, case management, life skills, and spiritual encouragement.

Trauma-Informed Healing

The program is designed to help survivors heal with dignity, consistency, safety, and compassionate care.

Purposeful Giving

Guests will have the opportunity to give toward clear areas of need that directly support the healing journey of survivors.

Bring women with you

Gather friends, colleagues, clients, or family for an afternoon of significance.

Some women will attend on their own. Others will use this luncheon as a meaningful opportunity to bring women they love, lead, work with, or want to inspire.

Table Host Circle

A Table Host helps gather women of influence, generosity, and compassion by inviting guests to purchase their own seats and attend together.

  • Ideal for women inviting friends, colleagues, clients, or family
  • Guests can reserve their own seats through the ticket link
  • A simple way to fill the room with women who care deeply

Sponsor a Table

Businesses, families, or philanthropists may choose to underwrite a full table or sponsor at a higher level to help ensure event proceeds support survivor recovery.

  • Best for businesses, families, foundations, and generous supporters
  • Creates a stronger philanthropic presence at the event
  • Helps underwrite costs so more funds can support healing services
